" The treatment received after an early miscarriage does not affect a woman&amp;#039;s long-term fertility, researchers have said. A study published in the British Medical Journal looked at the incidence of pregnancy after women had received treatment for a first trimester miscarriage. The researchers found that around 80 per cent of women had a live birth within five years of an early miscarriage, regardless of the type of treatment they received for it. Fifteen per cent of pregnancies end in early miscarriage. Previous studies have suggested that all three methods of miscarriage treatment are probably equivalent in terms of gynaecological infection, but their long-term effects on fertility were not known. Therefore, researchers based in the south-west of England compared fertility rates for the three management methods (expectant, medical and surgical). They surveyed 762 women, 83.6 per cent reported a subsequent pregnancy, with 82 per cent having a live birth. All three methods of miscarriage treatment had similar numbers of subsequent births. However, older women and those suffering three or more miscarriages were significantly less likely to subsequently give birth. The authors concluded: &amp;#039;The method of miscarriage management does not affect subsequent pregnancy rates, with around four in five women having a live birth within five years of a miscarriage. &amp;#039;Women can be reassured that long-term fertility concerns need not affect their choice of miscarriage management method.&amp;#039; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
