  1. Number of blastomeres, degree of fragmentation and symmetry were based on the manual scoring system
  2. aEmbryos that were in morula (M) stage at freezing and after warming (n = 4) are included in the group of >9 blastomeres
  3. bSymmetry and fragmentation for embryos in morula (M) or early blastocyst (EB) was not evaluated
