Background: hyroid autoantibodies cross blood-follicle barrier in titer dependent manner and may change oocyte microenvironment with adverse effects on implantation or post-implantation period. Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) interfers with pregnancy course and newborn anthropometry in pregnancy achieved by assisted reproduction (ART).Objective: To light upon pregnancy course outcomes and newborn anthropometric characteristics regarding TAI in ART programme.<...
