  1. * Age does not significantly differ between groups;
  2. **FSH, however, progressively increases (p < 0.001) and AMH and oocytes progressively decreased across categories from groups IA, to II, III and IB (p < 0.001).
  3. *** Percentages add up to 100% within each primary diagnosis. By far the most frequently represented primary diagnosis (156/350 patients, 44.6%) was DOR. Amongst those patients Group IB was significantly more prevalent than the three other study groups (p < 0.01).
