Spontaneous pregnancies among infertile couples during assisted reproduction lockdown for COVID ‐19 pandemic

ConclusionThe high pregnancy rate observed in a very short time ‐frame interval probably revealed an under‐explored cause of idiopathic infertility, i.e. the frequency of sexual intercourses, resulting the best predictive variable on achieving a spontaneous pregnancy. This factor is commonly under‐investigated during the anamnestic work‐up of infertile c ouples. Clinicians involved in ART should better investigate the sexual habits of infertile couples, with the aim to correctly apply ART to those couples who really need it, avoiding unnecessary over‐treatment for those couples able to conceive spontaneously.
