PR, pregnancy rates.

a

Excludes 10 women who had missing data on weight (n=2) or UPI after UPA intake (n=8).

b

Adjusted OR; results from logistic regression models. These multivariate models include either the variable BMI or the variable weight. The adjusted OR for further acts of intercourse is 4.2 (1.9–9.4) (not shown) when controlling for weight and 4.3 (1.9–9.5) (shown) when controlling for BMI.
