Does the degradation and death that occurs during the thawing of frozen embryo transfer affect the baby?

Patient's question:

On January 17th, frozen embryo transfer was performed. After 3 days, the frozen embryo with 621 cells showed degradation during thawing, resulting in a cell count reduction to 522. Which aspects are mainly affected by a cell count of 5? I often hear about "optimal embryos," and what number of cells is considered optimal? If a frozen embryo with a cell count of 5 successfully implants in the uterus, will this lower-quality cell count of 522 interfere with the baby's future physical health and intellectual development?

Doctor's answer:

According to the description, you have now undergone a thorough examination at the hospital and can rest assured that the cells have been checked properly. Now, you want to prepare for pregnancy. The hospital examination is excellent, and based on your health condition, you should first check how your body is doing before trying to conceive. During the thawing process of frozen embryo culture, if you conceive after grafting, it will not affect the baby's growth and development. You can have a blood test 14 days after grafting.
