Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Owing to the lack of a standard definition of ovarian reserve, the decrease of ovarian reserve in patients was assumed based on previous reports 15-18 if they satisfied at least one of the following conditions: 1. AFC in bilateral ovarian =5; 2. basal follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels =10 IU/L or follicle stimulating hormone/luteinizing hormone (FSH/LH) ratio =3.6 detected at least twice, or age =35 years old; and 3. a history of pelvic surgery.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients with endometriosis, immune infertility, and intracytoplasmic sperm injection for male factor infertility were excluded from this study.
