The need for effective parameters for selecting the best embryos is paramount when a large number of them are available for transfer. Other studies have reported that transfer of pre-selected embryos, based on cleavage to the 2-cell stage at 25 h and 27 h post-insemination/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), increases implantation and pregnancy rates. We investigated whether extending the time for selection of cleaved embryos to 29 h post-insemination/ICSI had a similar effect on pregnancy and implantation rates.
