To investigate the effect of anticoagulant treatment on pregnancy outcomes in patients with previous recurrent miscarriages (RM) who carry a methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation. In this longitudinal retrospective study, patients with RM were treated during pregnancy with either: (i) 100 mg/day aspirin and 5 mg/day folic acid (group 1); or the same protocol plus 0.4 mg/day enoxaparin (group 2). An age-matched group of triparous women without RM or thrombophilia was used as the control group (group 3).
Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is defined as three or more consecutive spontaneous fetal losses and it affects 0.3% to 1% of pregnancies.To investigate the effect of anticoagulant treatment on pregnancy outcomes in patients with previous recurrent miscarriages (RM) who carry a methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene mutation.

OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
363
All couples had undergone a standard infertility evaluation, which included medical history, physical examination, and assessment of tubal patency by either hysterosalpingography or laparoscopy and hormonal analysis on cycle day 3. A transvaginal ultrasound scan was performed on the second day of the cycle. On the same day, ovarian stimulation was carried out with recombinant FSH follitropin);rFSH;Gonal-F,MerckSerono,France,orfollitropin ; Puregon, MSD, France), urinary FSH (urofollitropin, Fostimon, France),orhMG(menotropin,Menopur,France)atastarting dose of 75 IU/day from the second day of the cycle.
number of miscarriages
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three components: aspirin, alpha blockers and folic acid in women with miscarriages consecutive first-trimester mutation of the MTHFR C677T gene versus the effet of a combination of aspirin and folic acid in patients with three or more consecutive first-trimester miscarriages who were carrying the C677T MTHFR gene mutation
