Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Covid-19 infection on early pregnancy losses within one year before pregnancy.Material-Method: The study is a prospective descriptive study that was carried out between 01.03.2021 and 01.09.2021, in the Obstetrics Outpatient clinic of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Ankara Dr. Sami Ulus Gynecology, Child Health, and Diseases Training and Research Hospital. Among the pregnant women between the ages of 18-35 who came for their first control due to obstetric follow-up, the pregnant women in the first trimester who stated that they had Covid-19 infection within one year before pregnancy, were in the study group (n=150), and the pregnant women in the first trimester who did not have a history of Covid-19 infection before pregnancy was also included in the control group (n=150). The pregnant women were followed up to the 20th gestational week and the early pregnancy loss rates of the two groups (spontaneous abortion at 0.05). In the study group, it was determined that the pregnant women who did not experience a pregnancy loss had an average of 6.04±2.94 months before pregnancy, and the pregnant women who had a pregnancy loss had an average of 6.75±3.15 months before the Covid-19 infection, and no statistically significant difference was observed (p>0, 05).Conclusion: Although there was no relationship between pre-conceptional Covid-19 infection and early pregnancy loss in the study, considering the effect of Covid-19 infection on placental vasculopathy, its relationship with early pregnancy loss should be clarified with larger prospective studies. In this regard,expectant mothers should be guided and their anxiety should be ameliorated at least in the pre-pregnancy period.
