  1. EGD: early gestational demise LGD: late gestational death RR: relative risk
  2. CI: confidence interval
  3. Statistical Analysis: Chi squared test, using the fisher exact method to compare EGD or LGD to total implantation sites - EGD or LGD and analysis of variance for live fetuses/litter (*p < 0.05).
  4. **Equations: EGD (%): Total EGD/(Total Implantation Sites- EGD)*100, LGD (%): Total LGD/[(Total Implantation Sites-(EGD + LGD)]*100
