  1. Abbreviations: FSH follicle-stimulating hormone, E2 estradiol. Values are expressed as mean ± standard deviation unless indicated otherwise
  2. Statistical differences were calculated using the Mann–Whitney U-test
  3. Clinical pregnancy rate, spontaneous abortion rate, live birth rate, ectopic pregnancy rate, and multiple pregnancy rate were calculated using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test
  4. Results are significantly different if P < 0.05
  5. aP<0.05 (vs. group A1)
  6. bP<0.05 (vs. group B2)
