The clinical relevance of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) in women undergoing in vitro fertilization/embryo transfer (IVF/ET) and the role of IVF treatment in affecting antiphospholipid levels are controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) levels and the effect of IVF treatment on aCL in women undergoing their first IVF/ET cycle.
