  1. Patients who were at the first freeze and thaw embryo transfer attempt with good blastocysts (3BB or more with Gardner’s classification) and who were <40 years old were included. Values indicate the mean ± standard deviation. The Student’s t test (non-homogeneity, two-sided) was used for comparisons between two groups
