Abnormalities of oocyte morphology affect embryo quality and viability. Whether morphological abnormalities of the oocyte influence cryosurvival and further development of derived embryos is not known. The aim of this study was to compare cryosurvival and progression to the blastocyst stage of frozen-thawed embryos derived from normal and abnormal oocytes.
