Measure
Experimental: Frequent Blood Sampling, Degarelix
Investigators will assess the change in inhibin B levels following repeated bolus dosing of recombinant FSH (rFHS) following Degarelix (GnRH antagonist) blockade over a 2-day period. This arm was terminated due to Adverse Events and the study was continued with the Cetrorelix product.
Experimental: Frequent Blood Sampling, Cetrorelix: Normal Weight
Investigators will assess the change in inhibin B levels following repeated bolus dosing of recombinant FSH (rFHS) following Cetrorelix blockade over a 2-day period. Normal weight participants = 18.5 to 24.9 BMI
Experimental: Frequent Blood Sampling, Cetrorelix: Obese
Investigators will assess the change in inhibin B levels following repeated bolus dosing of recombinant FSH (rFHS) following Cetrorelix blockade over a 2-day period. Obese participants = BMI of \>30

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 10 minutes over 2 10-hour frequent blood sampling sessions.

Population: The Degarelix arm is excluded because no data was collected from those participants. The Degarelix arm was terminated due to adverse events and was replaced with the Cetrorelix arm.

This is defined as the maximum hormone value during Day 1 of the study subtracted from the maximum hormone value during Day 2.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 10 minutes over 10 hours on Day 1 and Day 2 of the study.

Population: The Degarelix arm is excluded because no data was collected from those participants. The Degarelix arm was terminated due to adverse events and was replaced with the Cetrorelix arm.

Peak inhibin B will be measured every 10 minutes during day 1 and day 2 of the study. The highest inhibin B value will be defined as the peak.
