Table 1 The characteristics of 1210 patients included the sex ratio among singleton births following the first single blastocyst frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycles performed from January 2015 to February 2019

From: Does the sex ratio of singleton births after frozen single blastocyst transfer differ in relation to blastocyst development?
