Vehicle-treated endometrium displayed significantly different glandular and stromal staging (P = 0.043), which was not present in the hCG-treated patients (P = 0.980). Additionally, stromal staging was significantly decreased (P = 0.004) in the hCG-treated patients. Numbers shown represent luteal day or range of days as histologically staged based on tissue morphology in a blinded manner. Statistically significant differences of each column are indicated by different lettered superscripts.
