(β ± Standard Error),
P-values are from linear mixed models with a random intercept for matched set, a random intercept for subject nested within matched set, and adjusted for progesterone level (model 1), FTND, study week order, smoking status, and pre-nasal-spray SSS level; each row is its own model.
