title: Abortion risk and pregnancy interval.
abstract: In a group of 187 women, the result of the next pregnancy following a spontaneous first-trimester abortion was studied, in relation to the interval between the two pregnancies. Conception within 3 months of the abortion gave no greater risk for another abortion than did conception after a longer interval (9/56 = 16% vs. 24/131 = 18%).
