title: The effect of infertility and assisted reproduction on first-trimester placental and fetal development.
abstract: Our investigation of differences in first-trimester placentation and/or fetal biometry in pregnancies conceived spontaneously compared with those conceived through fertility treatment, and comparing less invasive fertility treatment with in vitro fertilization found no statistically significant difference in first-trimester abnormal placentation or fetal growth between pregnancies conceived spontaneously and those conceived through fertility treatment, or between the in vivo and in vitro subgroups.
