Abstract
Birth weight (BW) is higher after frozen embryo transfer (FET) than after fresh embryo replacement. No study has compared the BW of siblings conceived using the same oocyte/embryo cohort. The aim of this study was to determine whether the freezing-thawing procedure is involved in such difference. Multicenter study at Montpellier University Hospital, Clinique Ovo, Canada and Grenoble-Alpes University Hospital. The first cohort (Fresh/FET) included in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles where the older was born after fresh embryo transfer (n = 158) and the younger after transfer of frozen supernumerary embryos (n = 158). The second cohort (FET/FET) included IVF cycles where older and younger were born after FET of embryos from the same cohort. The mean adjusted BW of the FET group was higher than that of the fresh group (3508.9 ± 452.4 g vs 3237.7 ± 463.3 g; p < 0.01). In the FET/FET cohort, the mean adjusted BW was higher for the younger by 93.1 g but this difference is not significant (3430.2 ± 347.6 g vs 3337.1 ± 391.9 g; p = 0.3789). Our results strongly suggest that cryopreservation is directly involved in the BW variation. Comparing BW difference between Fresh/FET cohort and FET/FET one, it suggests that parity is not the only responsible, increasing the role of cryopreservation step in BW variation.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
