Modifiable Risk Factor Score and Fecundability in a Preconception Cohort in Singapore.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Although multiple modifiable risk factors have been identified for reduced fecundability (defined as lower probability of conception within a menstrual cycle), no scoring system has been established to systematically evaluate fecundability among females who are attempting to conceive.

Objective
