*24 data on stimulation in a group of pregnancies without placenta praevia missing and 18 data on embryo quality in group without placenta praevia missing.
**Good quality: good blastocysts quality according to Gardner criteria [24] on day 5 or 6, cleavage stage embryo with little (<10%) or no fragmentation on day 2 or 3, and equal (round) blastomeres on day 2 or 3. Poor quality: embryos not reaching the criteria for good quality.
