Bacteria with bound immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin bound to bacteria, and unbound immunoglobulins over time. Bacteria with bound immunoglobulin, immunoglobulin bound to bacteria and unbound immunoglobulins were measured during menstrual bleeding; time point 1 (T = 1), 7‑11 days after onset of menstrual bleeding; time point 2 (T = 2); and 17‑25 days after onset of menstrual bleeding; time point 3 (T = 3). A The percentage of bacteria with bound IgA or IgG over time. B Coating index of IgA and IgG bound to bacteria over time. C The concentration of unbound IgA and IgG over time. The red line represents the median for (A) and the mean for (B) and (C). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001
