a Embryos were graded from 1 to 5 according to the classification of Veeks and defined as “good quality” when the embryo was 1 or 2 grade; 80 cycles had ovarian endometriomas that were aspirated and identified as “chocolate” cyst(s) at the time of oocyte retrieval (group A); 248 cycles did not have cysts at the time of oocyte retrieval, while endometriosis was diagnosed by laparoscopy or laparotomy before IVF (group B); 283 cycles had tubal factor without endometriosis, as diagnosed by previous laparoscopy (group C).
