Clinical results in correlation to smoking status of male patients of all ages per embryo transfer.

Clinical ParametersNon Smokers n (%)

In the group of non smokers we had one patient with late pregnancy loss at 18 weeks of pregnancy.

Smokers n (%)

In the group of smokers, we had two patients with late pregnancy loss, one at 15 weeks of pregnancy and one at 17 weeks of pregnancy. We also had one patient with deliver a fetus mortus in utero at 25 weeks of pregnancy.
