Outcome	IVF (n = 10)	Ac + IVF (n = 8)	p-value
Number of retrieved mature oocytes	1.00 ± 0.87	2.75 ± 1.91	p = 0.0300
Number of fertilized oocytes	0.71 ± 0.76	2.25 ± 1.39	p = 0.0305
Fertilization rate * (No. of zygotes/No. of oocytes)	87.50 ± 25.00% (8/9)	91.67 ± 23.57% (18/22)	p = 0.6271
AMH (ng/mL) Antral follicle count	0.31 ± 0.27	0.55 ± 0.36	p = 0.3537
AMH (ng/mL) Antral follicle count	4.86 ± 2.34	5.67 ± 1.86	p = 0.9610

Values are shown as mean ± standard deviation. Groups are compared using Wilcoxon rank-sum test. * calculated using the chi-square test. IVF, in vitro fertilization; Ac + IVF, combination of acupuncture and IVF treatment; AMH, Anti-Müllerian hormone.
