To expand on the reproductive problems faced by women exposed to BPA. Studies in the US have shown that healthy women without any fertility problems found that urinary BPA was unrelated to time of pregnancy despite a shorter luteal phase (second part of the menstrual cycle) being reported. Additional studies have been conducted in fertility centers say that BPA exposure is correlation with lower ovarian reserves. To combat this most women will undergo IVF to help with the poor ovarian stimulation response and seemingly all of them have elevated levels of BPA in the urinary tract. Median conjugation of BPA concentrations were higher in those who did have a miscarriage compared to those who had a live birth. All of these studies show that BPA can have an affect on ovarian functions and the pivotal early part of conception. One study did show racial/ethnical differences as Asian women were found to have an increased oocyte maturity rate, but all of the women had significantly lower concentration of BPA just in this study.
