Difficulty in swallowing study medication 23.

Administration of any investigational drug and/or experimental device within 30 days prior to the screening visit 26. Administration of any biologics within 30 days prior to the screening visit. Note: The Covid-19 vaccine is not included in this prohibition. 27. Clinically significant finding on the ECG suggesting participation in the study could pose a risk to the subject 28. A depot injection or an implant of any drug within 1 month prior to the screening visit 29. Use of oral contraceptives or other sex steroid hormones within 1 month prior to the screening visit.

Any clinically significant physical or gynecological abnormality at the screening visit 31. Any clinically significant abnormal laboratory test result at the screening visit 32. Hemoglobin \<11.5 g/dL and/or hematocrit \<32% 33. Use of over-the-counter products containing any substances which could have the propensity to impact either estradiol or gonadotropin level 34. Donation of plasma within 7 days prior to dosing.
