To reduce the twin pregnancy rate, elective single embryo transfer (eSET) is increasingly implemented. Improvement of the results obtained with eSET can be achieved by better selection of the most viable embryo. This study investigated the predictive value of early cleavage (EC) as an additional parameter for selecting the embryo with the highest implantation potential by using data from SET's.
