Data are presented as rates (95% CI) adjusted for age (continuous), BMI (continuous), races (white, black, Asian, and others), and infertility diagnosis (male, female, and unexplained). A total of 100 fresh cycles were carried out among women who did not consume soy and 247 fresh cycles among women who consumed soy.

a

We classified embryos as best quality if they had 4 cells on day 2, 8 cells on day 3, and a morphologic quality score of 1 or 2 on days 2 and 3.

b

Tests for trend were performed using the median level of urinary BPA level in each group as a continuous variable in the model.
