To assess salivary stress biomarkers (cortisol and alpha-amylase) and female fecundity. Prospective cohort design. United Kingdom. 274 women aged 18–40 years attempting pregnancy were followed until pregnant or for six menstrual cycles. Women collected basal saliva samples on day 6 of each cycle, and used fertility monitors to identify ovulation and pregnancy test kits for pregnancy detection. Exposures included salivary cortisol (μg/dL) and alpha-amylase (U/mL) concentrations. Fecundity was measured by time-to-pregnancy and the probability of pregnancy during the fertile window as estimated from discrete-time survival and Bayesian modeling techniques, respectively. Alpha-amylase but not cortisol concentrations were negatively associated with fecundity in the first cycle (fecundity odds ratio = 0.85; 95% confidence interval 0.67, 1.09) after adjusting for couples’ ages, intercourse frequency, and alcohol consumption. Significant reductions in the probability of conception across the fertile window during the first cycle attempting pregnancy were observed for women whose salivary concentrations of alpha-amylase were in the upper quartiles in comparison to women in the lower quartiles (HPD −0.284; 95% interval −0.540, −0.029). Stress significantly reduced the probability of conception each day during the fertile window, possibly exerting its effect through the sympathetic medullar pathway.
