Embryo Development Potential Assessment

Aneuploid embryos can still form blastocysts, albeit at lower rates.

Uterine contractions have been negatively correlated with embryo transfer outcome, possibly leading to embryonic expulsion and loss.

Cryopreservation at the blastocyst stage appears to have higher success rates than at earlier stages.
