Fecundability among Danish women with a history of miscarriage: a prospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between history of miscarriage and fecundability (the cycle-specific probability of conception).

Design

Nationwide prospective cohort study using web-based questionnaires.

Setting

Denmark, 2007-2012.

Participants

977 women attempting to conceive, not using fertility treatment, and with a reproductive history of only miscarriage or only live birth.

Exposure and outcome measures

Information on previous pregnancy outcomes, including miscarriage, came from self-report or from relevant registries. Participants were followed for up to 12 months or until they reported a pregnancy, stopped trying to conceive or started fertility treatment, whichever came first. We used Kaplan-Meier methods to estimate cumulative probabilities
