CRGH - Vitrified Blastocyst Pregnancy Rates 2009
| Vitrified | Slow Frozen |
Cycles | 167 | 161 |
Mean Age | 35.2 | 36.4 |
Survival rate | 91.4% | 76.3% |
Pregnancy rate/ Cycle | 56.3% | 44.1% |
Implantation rate | 35% | 26% |

An improvement in both pregnancy and implantation rates has also been observed.
