n = 57 participants completed Baseline measurements and questionnaires. This data is reported as proportions (n/n total) and percentages (%). Percentages are provided in parentheses and are reported as a percentage of either the Genetic or the Non-Genetic group. Pearson’s χ2 analysis were conducted to determine a difference in the proportions between the Genetic and Non-Genetic groups for each parameter. p ≤ 0.05 was considered statistically significant. IUD, intra-uterine device.
