I'm going to say for almost 20 years, maybe more.

And the point is that the head of the sperm, you know, the sperm has got an oval head and then it's got a little, what we call a mid piece, which is like a little collar.

13:41
Right.
13:42

The University of Oklahoma came to us and said, can you give us our product, Ovacetol, to use in one arm and make us matching placebo for the other? And we did that.
20:32
So they just enrolled their last subject.
20:35
and it'll take another six months for that subject to go through the treatment and, you know, the protocol, and then we'll get some results.
20:43
But we're hopeful it's going to be exciting.
