Values are presented as mean (standard deviation) or number (%). A p value of < 0.05 was considered significant.
*The p value was calculated after log transformation for normal distribution.
rFSH, recombinant follicle-stimulating hormone; hp-hMG, highly purified-human menopausal gonadotropin; BMI, body mass index; FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; TSH, thyroid-stimulating hormone; AFC, antral follicle count
Note: Standard reference ranges: FSH: 1-9.2mIU/mL; TSH: 0.5-4.8µIU/mL; Prolactin: 108.78-557.13mIU/L
