Results from Mann Whitney U tests (all tests were conducted on 7 MF cycles and 8 FF cycles**) and pairwise comparisons (tests conducted on the whole datasets after having fitted GLMMs using two categories for individual cycle**).

Bolded p-values are significant.

*Not significant after a Bonferroni correction (adjusted alpha < 0.025).

**For results using one cycle per female or four categories for individual cycle, see Supplementary Table S5.
