  1. Abbreviations: FSH follicle-stimulating hormone, LH luteinizing hormone, E2 estradiol
  2. Statistical differences were calculated using the Mann–Whitney U-test, except for “type of infertility,” for which the chi-square test was used
  3. Results are significantly different if P < 0.05. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation unless indicated otherwise (Type of infertility is expressed as the number of IVF cycles)
