FIGURE 1 The seasonal variability, in assisted reproduction, of the three outcomes studied. (A) The seasonal changes in fertilization rate; F(3,301) = 2.80; P<.04. (B) The seasonal changes in quality-A embryos; F(3,299) = 3.81; P<.05. (C) Seasonal variability in conception rate (per embryo transfer); N.S. Rojansky. Seasonal variation in human reproduction.

FIGURE 2 The correlation between (A) monthly fertilization rates and (B) the changes (Δ increase/decrease) in monthly light hours (as measured at the 22nd day of each month); r = 0.18; P<.05. Dashed line denotes mean annual fertilization rates (±SD). Rojansky. Seasonal variation in human reproduction. Fertil Steril 2000. Fertility and Sterility , DOI: ( /S (00) )

FIGURE 3 The correlation between (A) monthly rates of quality-A embryos and (B) the monthly changes (Δ increase/decrease) in light hours (at 22nd day of each month); r = 0.13; P<.05. (C) Correlation with the absolute number of light hours; r = 0.15, P<.05. Dashed line denotes mean annual rate (±SD) of quality-A embryos. Rojansky. Seasonal variation in human reproduction.
