Abstrakt:	Objective: To examine the relationship of preconception hemoglobin A1c, a marker of cumulative exposure to glucose over the preceding 2-3 months, with time to pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and live birth among fecund women without diagnosed diabetes or other medical diseases. Design: A secondary analysis of a prospective cohort of women participating in the Effects of Aspirin in Gestation and Reproduction (EAGeR) trial. Setting: Four US academic medical centers. Patients: A total of 1,194 healthy women aged 18-40 years with a history of one or two pregnancy losses attempting spontaneous conception were observed for up to six cycles while attempting pregnancy and throughout pregnancy if they conceived. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Time to pregnancy, human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy, clinical pregnancy, pregnancy loss, and live birth. Results: Although increasing preconception A1c level was associated with reduced fecundability (fecundability odds ratio [FOR] per unit increase in A1c 0.74; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.57, 0.96) in unadjusted models and models adjusted for age, race, smoking and treatment arm (FOR 0.79; 95% CI 0.60, 1.04), results were attenuated after further adjustment for body mass index (FOR 0.91; 95% CI 0.68, 1.21). Preconception A1c levels among women without diagnosed diabetes were not associated with live birth or pregnancy loss. Conclusionss: Among healthy women without diagnosed diabetes, we observed no association of A1c with live birth or pregnancy loss. The association between A1c and fecundability was influenced by body mass index, a strong risk factor for both diabetes and infertility. These data support current recommendations that preconception A1c screening should be reserved for patients with risk factors for diabetes.
