Categorical hormonal contraception (HC) exposure variables: COC use for ≥50% of person-time since last visit and DMPA use ≥50% of person-time since last visit (referent group is no hormonal use since last visit).

Continuous HC exposure variable: continuous COC use since the study start (referent group is no hormonal use since study start).

HC: hormonal contraception; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; COC: combined oral contraceptive; DMPA: depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate; LMP: last menstrual period.
