Two studies have found lower testosterone in relation to pair\u2010bonding and motherhood in women, with several others suggesting that estradiol levels are lower among parous women than nulliparous women. Here, we examine estradiol and progesterone concentrations in relation to marriage and motherhood in naturally cycling, reproductive age women.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 185 Norwegian women, estradiol and progesterone concentrations were assayed from waking saliva samples collected daily over the course of a menstrual cycle. Cycles were aligned on day 0, the day of ovulation. Mean periovulatory estradiol (days \u22127 to +6) and luteal progesterone (day +2 to +10) indices were calculated. Marital status and motherhood (including age of youngest child) were reported in baseline questionnaires. Multivariable linear regression models were used to examine associations between ovarian hormones, marital status, and motherhood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Women who were married or living as married had higher estradiol than unmarried women (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.19; 95% CI: 0.02, 0.36) and higher luteal progesterone as well (\n                      <jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.19; 95% CI: \u22120.01, 0.39).
