Objective: What is the role of blastocyst morphology on day16 β-hCG serum levels and pregnancy outcomes among patients who conceived through IVF cycles with single fresh Gardner's scored blastocyst transfers.
Study Design: A retrospective cohort study conducted at a single academic fertility center between January 2013 and December 2017. A total of 643 pregnancies were included in the study.
Purpose: The objective of this study is to identify the pregnancy outcomes based on day-16 β-hCG level assessed with modern assays, in fresh single embryo transfers.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study at a single academic center between 2013 and 2017. A total of 1076 pregnancies were included.
Study Question: In IVF cycles in which the entire embryo cohort is slow growing, is it optimal to perform fresh transfer in Day 5 or to extend the culture and transfer in subsequent vitrified-warmed cycles?
Summary Answer: The outcomes depend on the degree of embryo development on Day 5.
What Is Known Already: Slow-growing blastocysts have lower implantation potential when transferred in fresh cycles. It has been suggested that embryo-endometrial asynchrony could explain this finding.
Introduction: Due to several reasons, in some countries commercial oocyte donation is not possible. Accordingly, patients should find their own donors who may be over 35 years. The aim of this study was to compare the results of oocyte donation from donors <35 years (young donors) and donors ≥35 years old (older donors).

Design: Retrospective cohort study in a single university-affiliated center.
