  1. Values are mean ± standard deviation, or number (%)
  2. aThirty-three women were lost to follow-up after the first transfer, 11 did not undergo embryo transfer, one woman had no oocytes retrieved, and three women had no embryos to transfer
  3. hCG human chorionic gonadotropin
  4. bA total of 1007 transfers were performed, but no follow-up data were available for 33, meaning that data from 974 transfers are reported
