Abstract

Of 44 pregnancies obtained at the Tenon Maternity Hospital by in vitro fertilization (IVF) using donated oocytes, 25 have already been completed by spontaneous delivery or cesarean section: 22 (88%) single; 2 (8%) twins, and 1 (4%) triple. The most frequently seen complications of pregnancy were hypertension (16%) and preterm labor in the last 3 months (12%). However, as compared to a control group of 275 pregnancies resulting from classical IVF, the only difference was a very high percentage of cesarean sections (72%). No fetal deaths or neonatal malformations were reported.
