Results are expressed as , (%), or mean (M) ± standard deviation (SD). A difference was considered significant (s) when ; ns: not significant. The power was calculated based on the difference of mean values between groups with = 0.05. The power value was considered important when above 80%. The power mean value of this part of study is 61%; IUI: intrauterine insemination; PCOS: polycystic ovary syndrome; TMS: total motile sperm count.
