Model output with constant dose of exogenous hormone.

(black curve) or (full green curve) is the hormone H model output in case of 20 pg/mL per day of exogenous E₂ or 1.4 ng/mL per day of exogenous P₄ is administered for 28 days, respectively. The stipulated red curve represents the data for the 28-day normal cycle extracted from Welt et al. [15]. The addition of exogenous E₂ or P₄ reduces the peak of each of the five hormones.
