Univariate and multivariable analysis was performed with a multiple logistic regression model to assess the potential impact of those parameters on LBR.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The clinical pregnancy rate per transfer (41.1% vs. 38.2%, <i>P</i> = 0.548) and LBR per transfer (29.1% vs. 27.7%, <i>P</i> = 0.745) were comparable between day 3 versus day 4 transfer groups. Although the cycle cancellation rate was comparable in both the groups (0.8% in day 3 vs. 1.4% in day 4, <i>P</i> = 0.673), cryosurvival of embryos was higher in the day 3 group versus the day 4 group (86.3% vs. 81.7%), and the difference was significant (<i>P</i> < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the likelihood of achieving live birth did not depend on day of embryo transfer (odds ratio: 1.059, 95% confidence interval: 0.688-1.628, <i>P</i> = 0.793).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Warming cleavage-stage embryos and culturing for 1 extra day did not show any significant difference in FET outcomes.</p>","PeriodicalId":15975,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Human Reproductive Sciences","volume":"18 3","pages":"141-147"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12527148/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145308293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
