Gestational-weeks of observation is the number of weeks from detected pregnancy (i.e. entry into cohort) until SAB or censoring. SAB: spontaneous abortion; HR: Hazard Ratio; CI: Confidence Interval;

a

Adjusted for male and female: age, education, race/ethnicity, alcohol frequency, smoking status, environmental tobacco exposure, caffeine intake, sugar-sweetened beverage intake, BMI, weekly exercise, multivitamin use, hours work per week, history of STIs, depression/anxiety; male only: household income, hours of sleep per night, perceived stress scale; and female only: marijuana use frequency.

b

Additionally adjusted for reproductive history: female parity and history of spontaneous abortion, male ever impregnated someone, and total time to pregnancy (cycles).

c

Weighted by the inverse probability of male participation.

d

Weighted by the inverse probability of male participation and pregnancy. Weights are the product of the male participation and pregnancy weights.

e

No models adjust for history of spontaneous abortion.
