It was significant p<0.05 at the triple dose, and it is significant p<0.05 inversely for 9 dpc period, It means that the estrogen hormone level was decreased when the drug dose was increased were there were significant decrease p<0.05 in the value of progesterone level of blood serum at treatment dose, double and triple dose of the drg.
