Table 3.

Fertilization and cleavage rates and embryo quality in the study and control groups

	Study group	Control group	P-Value
N of 2PN (Fertilization rate %)^a	7.93 ± 4.88 (69.52%)	8.47 ± 5.21 (69.9%)	NS
N of embryos (Cleavage rate %)^a	7.7 ± 4.52 (97,2%)	7.47 ± 4.11 (88.2%)	<0,01*
N of blastomeres per embryo^a	6.46 ± 1.15	6.35 ± 1.18	NS
Fragmentation rate per embryo (%)^a	5.26 ± 2.99	5.09 ± 3.04	NS

^a Values are mean plus or minus one standart deviation

* Odds Ratio 4.58 (2.93< OR >7.32) (Study group zygotes were more likely to cleave, Mid-P Exact)

NS = Not significant
