Current guidelines recommending a waiting period are largely based on spontaneous conception data and may not apply to FET cycles. This study aimed to evaluate whether the length of IPI following biochemical or clinical pregnancy loss affects subsequent reproductive and neonatal outcomes in an infertile FET population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this retrospective cohort study, 2,620 infertile women who experienced a biochemical or clinical pregnancy loss after a preceding FET cycle and subsequently underwent a consecutive FET cycle derived from the same oocyte retrieval at a tertiary academic center between January 2011 and December 2022 were included. IPI was defined as the interval from the end of the failed pregnancy to the subsequent embryo transfer and categorized as &lt;\u20096 months, 6\u201312 months, or 12\u201324 months. Live birth was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included conception, clinical pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and adverse neonatal outcomes. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Using the IPI of 6\u201312 months as the reference, a shorter IPI (&lt;\u20096 months) was not associated with a reduced likelihood of clinical pregnancy among women with prior biochemical pregnancy loss (aOR 1.29; 95% CI 0.88\u20131.89) or clinical pregnancy loss (aOR 0.93; 95% CI 0.71\u20131.21). Similarly, the odds of live birth were comparable between women who reinitiated FET within 6 months and those who waited 6\u201312 months, regardless of the type of preceding pregnancy loss (biochemical pregnancy loss: aOR 1.18; 95% CI 0.80\u20131.74; clinical pregnancy loss: aOR 0.94; 95% CI 0.73\u20131.23). Extending the IPI to 12\u201324 months did not confer additional benefits for reproductive outcomes. Rates of adverse neonatal outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and small for gestational age, were similar across all IPI categories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among infertile women undergoing FET after a biochemical or clinical pregnancy loss, reinitiating FET within 6 months was not associated with compromised reproductive or neonatal outcomes. These findings support the safety of early FET reinitiation and suggest that delaying subsequent treatment in the absence of medical indications may be unnecessary.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12958-026-01556-7","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,22]],"date-time":"2026-04-22T06:24:11Z","timestamp":1776839051000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Impact of interpregnancy interval after pregnancy loss on clinical pregnancy and neonatal outcomes of subsequent frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycles: a retrospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Wanli","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shasha","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qianqian","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingru","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pengcheng","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"1556_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"l869","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.l869","volume":"364","author":"MC Magnus","year":"2019","unstructured":"Magnus MC, Wilcox AJ, Morken NH, Weinberg CR, Haberg SE.
