FOR, fecundability odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.

a

Includes oxycodone, hydrocodone, noroxycodone, oxymorphone, codeine, dihydrocodeine, hydromorphone, morphine, desomorphine, heroin, levorphanol, thebaine, tramadol, and fentanyl.

b

Numbers include participants with measured data. Multiple imputation was used to account for missing exposure and covariate information, thus all 1228 participants were included in analyses of FOR.

c

From discrete time Cox proportional hazard models accounting for right censoring and left truncation.

d

Adjusted for age, race, body mass index, education level, physical activity, smoking frequency, alcohol use frequency, urine-measured or self-reported marijuana use, urine-measured or self-reported antidepressant use, gynecological indication for opioid use, severity of abdominal cramping and lower backache during menstrual periods, time since a woman’s last pregnancy, and number of prior pregnancy losses.
