: The elements and magnitude of human pregnancy wastage are summarized with focus on some of the factors that may influence or increase it. Initial attention is directed to consideration of what is known regarding the single largest category of wastage--abortions occurring within the first 12-14 weeks. Cytogenetically, some 61% of these would be abnormal in chromosomal count; structural genetic defects would account for but 3.8% of the observable cases. Of the numerical defects, about 15% would be representative of monosomy, 52% of trisomy, and 20% of triploidy. If the use of endocrine measurements are applied during this time frame, somewhat less than 75% of women who will abort have circulating human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels 1 standard deviation below the normal mean. Possibly the least understood and, consequently, the most underestimated element in pregnancy loss is the contribution of the male partner. During the some 75 days necessary for development and maturation of the human spermatozoa occur numerous steps, some of which are more susceptible than others to fertility-affecting alteration. Among the array of possibilities, genetic defects resulting from either congenital or biologic factors must be considered as a primary grouping. Epididymal transit, with its accompanying maturation of the sperm cell, represents the next major element susceptible to fertility-affecting change. In the female, disruption of the proper functioning of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis would contribute to increasing the percentages of reproductive loss. The result of gamete aging would also be an increase in early embryonic and fetal loss.
