First trimester urinary bisphenol and phthalate concentrations and time to pregnancy: a population-based cohort analysis.
Conclusions: We found no associations of bisphenols and phthalates with fecundability. Preconception folic acid supplementation seems to modify effects of bisphenols and phthalates on fecundability. Folic acid supplements may protect against reduced fecundability among women exposed to these chemicals. Further studies are needed to replicate these findings and investigate potential mechanisms.
