1 Blastocyst embryo transfer is associated with a sex-ratio imbalance in favor of male offspring 
Martha Luna, M.D., Marlena Duke, M.Sc., Alan Copperman, M.D., Lawrence Grunfeld, M.D., Benjamin Sandler, M.D., Jason Barritt, Ph.D.  Fertility and Sterility  Volume 87, Issue 3, Pages (March 2007) DOI: /j.fertnstert Copyright © 2007 American Society for Reproductive Medicine Terms and Conditions

2 FIGURE 1 Blastocyst expansion according to gender. Blastocyst expansion is not significantly different between female and male embryos. Only male embryos resulted from blastocysts with an expansion score of 3 (P=.7306). Luna. Sex-ratio imbalance in blastocyst transfers. Fertil Steril 2007.

3 FIGURE 2 Inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm grading according to gender. More female embryos presented a higher ICM score than did males. However, significance was not attained (P=.1895). Trophectoderm grading was higher in male embryos, although a lack of significance is observed (P=.3412). Luna. Sex-ratio imbalance in blastocyst transfers. Fertil Steril 2007.
