Note: FR = fecundability ratio, CI = confidence interval. Unadjusted model controls for cycle number.

a

Model is adjusted for cycle number, age of the female or male partner (yr), vigorous physical activity (y/n), BMI, vocational training (y/n), alcohol consumption (y/n), current smoking (y/n), pack-years of smoking (ever smokers), partner smoking (y/n), partner BMI, parity, cycle length (days), cycle regularity (y/n), intercourse frequency (no./wk), last method of contraception (barrier/hormonal/other), and methods used to time intercourse (basal body temp/LH ovulation test kit/other).
