Odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) are from discrete survival analysis (Cox proportional odds model). Adjusted models included female age (<35, 35–37, 38–40, >40 years), body mass index (<19, 19–24.9, 25–29.9, ≥30 kg/m2), clinic site (1, 2, 3), study enrollment period (1994–1998 vs. 1999–2003), female tobacco use (0, 1–6, 7–60 cigarettes/week), female alcohol use (0, >0–38, >38 g/week), and primary infertility diagnosis. p-values, tests for linear trend, are calculated from the Wald statistic and are two-sided.
