PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 cycles (approximately 4 months)

Population: Placebo treatment was not analyzed. This cycle was purely included in the study flow to keep investigators blinded to treatment allocation. It was pre-specified that it would not be analyzed.

One cycle corresponds to one participant

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Control Cycle
n=20 Participants
Monitoring through ovarian ultrasound and serum hormone levels of menstrual cycle prior to receiving any study treatment in order to insure ovulatory activity.
Pre-LH Celecoxib
n=20 Participants
Receive celebrex at pre-determined time in menstrual cycle based on hormone levels and ultrasound results Celebrex: 400 mg PO daily intermittently based on hormone and ultrasound findings
Post-LH Surge Celecoxib
n=20 Participants
Receive celebrex at pre-determined time in menstrual cycle based on hormone levels and ultrasound results. Celebrex: 400 mg PO daily intermittently based on hormone and ultrasound findings
Number of Cycles With Ovulation Dysfunction When Taken After Ovulation: Extended Luteal Phase

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 cycles (approximately 4 months)

Population: One cycle corresponds to one participant. Placebo treatment was not analyzed. This cycle was purely included in the study flow to keep investigators blinded to treatment allocation. It was pre-specified that it would not be analyzed.

Average serum levels of progesterone (ng/mL) and luteinizing hormone (ng/mL) normalized to days of the luteal phase of menstrual cycle.
