OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether pregnancy complications are increased in poor responders to ovarian stimulation in IVF treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We reviewed the antenatal follow up and birth records of 26 poor responders to ovarian stimulation and 125 normoresponder patients in an IVF program. RESULTS: Eighty nine (71.2%) of the normoresponders and 22 (84.6%) of the poor responders had no pregnancy complications. Gestational diabetes was present in 18 (14.4%) of the normoresponders and 3 (11.5%) of the poor responders. Seven of the normoresponders had placenta previa (5.6%). Two of the normoresponders (1.6%) had pregnancy induced hypertension. Two (1.6%) of the normoresponders had preeclampsia. One patient from each group had fetal anomaly (3.8% for poor responders vs. 0.8% for normoresponders). Cholestasis of pregnancy was present in two of the normoresponders (1.6%) and the 2 patients (7.7%) who delivered prematurely also belonged to this group. CONCLUSION: Our results revealed that pregnancy complications were not increased in patients with a reduced ovarian reserve when compared to their age matched counterparts.
