Notes: Data presented as number and % of cohort total(s).

DOR = diminished ovarian reserve; EMS = endometrial stripe measurement; FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone; PCOS = polycystic ovary syndrome; PGT = preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy; RPL = recurrent pregnancy loss.

a

Chi-square test, comparing those with a diagnosis to no diagnosis.
