- Title
Single blastocyst embryo transfer maintains comparable pregnancy rates to double cleavage-stage embryo transfer but results in healthier pregnancy outcomes.

- Abstract
The optimal outcome after IVF is a live, healthy, singleton term baby. This can be achieved by transferring a single embryo, but at the possible expense of reducing pregnancy rates. Recent studies suggest that delaying transfer of embryos to the blastocyst stage (day 4/5), rather than the more traditional cleavage stage (day 2-3), allows for better selection of the best embryo, maximising pregnancy rates from a single embryo transfer (SET). The aim of this study was to assess pregnancy outcomes in relation to changing embryo transfer practices.
