Serum hCG Levels following the Ovulatory Injection: Associations with Patient Weight and Implantation Time

Figure 1

Postovulatory serum hCG levels and embryo quality. Bars indicate the incidence (frequency) of embryos with specified numbers of cells transferred on day 3 (a), embryo stage transferred on day 5 (b), and embryo grade transferred on day 5 (c). Error bars represent standard error. Postovulatory serum hCG levels were not associated with the number of cells in day 3 embryos (Contingency Chi Squared, ) (a), the embryo stage in day 5 transfers (Contingency Chi Squared, ) (b), nor the blastocyst grade in day 5 transfers (Contingency Chi Squared, ).
