1General estimating equations with a binominal distribution, log link, exchangeable correlation structure were used to estimate relative risks and 95% confidence intervals. Poisson distribution was specified for testing on the implantation rates

2Models were adjusted for maternal age (18–29, 30–34, 35–40, 40 +) and year of cycle started (2004–2007, 2008–2010, 2011–2013)
