Demographic characteristics of the women in proliferative phase recruited in this study.
| Variable | Early proliferative phase (n = 8) | Late proliferative phase (n = 12) | P |
| Age (y) | 29.13 ± 3.72 | 29.25 ± 3.93 | 0.944 |
| BMI (kg/m2) | 22.40 ± 1.49 | 22.10 ± 3.05 | 0.798 |
| Basal FSH level (mIU/mL) | 6.95 ± 1.30 | 7.15 ± 2.36 | 0.831 |
| Basal LH level (mIU/mL) | 5.48 ± 2.71 | 4.62 ± 1.47 | 0.209 |
| Basal E2 level (pg/ml) | 43.38 ± 18.57 | 40.58 ± 12.21 | 0.688 |
Data presented as mean ± SD. The differences of age, BMI, basal FSH, LH and basal E2 levels between three menstrual phase groups were analyzed by an independent samples t-test. BMI, body mass index; FSH, follicle-stimulating hormone; LH, luteinizing hormone; E2, estradiol.
