AFC Antral follicle count, PFC Preovulatory follicle count, number of follicles ≥14mm at triggering day, OR Number of oocytes retrieved, FORT Follicular output rate = PFC/AFC ×100%, ORR Oocyte retrieval rate = number of OR/PFC ×100%, Gn Gonadotropin
a Patient 1 cycle 1 was done at another centre, and therefore some clinical data was not available
bAveraged data from our IVF centre, calculated from all cycles done in the same year for same-aged patients
cClomiphene citrate was used simultaneously
