Stem cell transplants can be either auto (patient's own stored cells) or allo (related or unrelated donor.) According to the National Marrow Donor Registry, currently 3500 unrelated donor transplants are performed each year in the U.S. Auto transplants are at least twice as common but I didn't find a number for them.

An embryo typically starts as a single cell, formed by the fertilization of an egg cell by a sperm cell. As the embryo develops, the single cell undergoes multiple rounds of division to form two, then four, then eight cells, and so on. The number of cells in an embryo can vary depending on the stage of development.

It depends on how old the embryo is. If the embryo is 1 day old then there are fewer than if the embryo is 5 days old.
