New legislation concerning assisted reproduction treatments was introduced in Turkey in March 2010 in order to reduce the number of multiple pregnancies. This new legislation limits the number of embryos to be transferred to one under 35 years of age in the first or second treatment cycles and to two in the third or further cycles or for 35 and older ages. The aim of this multicentre study was to investigate the effect of this new law on clinical pregnancy and multiple pregnancy rates. Outcomes were compared in equal periods of 2.5 months before and after the new law, and further investigation was conducted for two different age groups: <35 and ? 35. The clinical pregnancy rates decreased from 39.9 to 34.5% and multiple pregnancy rates decreased from 23.1 to 5.3% (P<0.001) for the overall population. The outcomes of the <35 age group and ? 35 age group were also similar to that of the overall population. These results suggest that under the new legislation multiple pregnancy rates are significantly reduced without causing a significant decline in the pregnancy rates.
