Natural log transformed;

b

n=3 missing values for BMI;

c

n=1 missing value for peak-E2;

d

n=1 missing value for AFC;

e

excluding n=3 with anovulation; r=0.63, P<0.0001.

AFC, antral follicle count; BMI, body mass index; BPA, bisphenol A; CI, confidence interval; E2, estradiol; FSH, follicle stimulating hormone.
