Figure 4 (A) Cumulative incidence of a positive human chorionic gonadotrophin test resulting in a live-born baby. (B) Cumulative incidence of live birth according to vitrified–warmed embryo transfer cycle rank. Dashed lines=intention-to-treat excluding spontaneous pregnancies (n=30); solid lines=patients undergoing at least one vitrified–warmed embryo transfer cycle (n=26).
