Recurrent miscarriages are one or more pregnancy losses before 20-24 weeks of gestation or below a fetal weight of 500 g (Pic. 1). About 1% of women in reproductive age are affected by recurrent miscarriages. The majority of patients are counseled to try to conceive again, and chances are about 60% that the next pregnancy is successful without treatment. However, each additional loss worsens th...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the gender ratio and incidence of chromosomal anomalies in the products of conception (POC) from recurrent miscarriages. METHODS We determined the karyotypes of POC from patients with recurrent spontaneous miscarriages between 1999 and 2009. RESULTS In total, 313 specimens were successfully karyotyped, with a median gestational age of 10 ...

Objective. Women with infertility and recurrent miscarriages may have an overlapping etiology. The aim of this study was to compare the pregnancy loss in pregnancies after IVF treatment with spontaneous pregnancies in women with recurrent miscarriages and to assess differences related to cause of infertility. Methods. The outcome from 1220 IVF pregnancies (Group I) was compared with 611 spontan...
