Purpose: This study aimed to examine the embryonic development of human 4-cell stage embryos after warming with fatty acids (FAs) and to assess the pregnancy outcomes after single vitrified-warmed cleavage stage embryo transfers (SVCTs).

Methods: Experimental study: A total of 217 discarded, vitrified human 4-cell stage embryos donated for research by consenting couples were used. The embryos were warmed using the fatty acid (FA)-supplemented solutions (FA group) or nonsupplemented solutions (control group). The developmental rate, morphokinetics, and outgrowth competence were analyzed. Clinical study: The treatment records of women undergoing SVCT in natural cycles between April and September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed (April-June 2022, control group; July-September 2022, FA group).

Results: Experimental study: The rate of morphologically good blastocysts was significantly higher in the FA group than in the control group ( = 0.0302). The morphokinetics during cleavage, morula, and blastocyst stages were comparable between the groups. The outgrowth was significantly increased in the FA group ( = 0.0438). Clinical study: The rates of implantation, clinical pregnancy, and ongoing pregnancy after SVCTs were significantly increased in the FA group ( = 0.0223-0.0281).

Conclusions: Fatty acid-supplemented warming solutions effectively improve embryo development to the blastocyst stage and pregnancy outcomes after SVCTs.
