Risk of miscarriage in women conceiving after medically assisted reproduction (MAR) with an ultrasound verified viable pregnancy at 6-8 weeks of gestation

ConclusionsIn this study, 11.8% of MAR pregnancies ended in miscarriage. The majority of pregnancy losses occurred in the first trimester and only 0.8 % of the MAR women had a miscarriage after an ultrasound verification of a viable pregnancy at 11-14 weeks of gestation. The corresponding miscarriage rate among SC women was 0.6 %. After adjustment for maternal characteristics, none of the fertility treatment types were associated with an increased risk of miscarriage compared with SC women.
