Figure 1 Flowchart of the study population. ART = assisted reproductive technology; CRL = crown-rump length; 3D-US = three-dimensional ultrasound; IUFD = intrauterine fetal death; IUI = intrauterine insemination.

Figure 2 Fully adjusted models for (A) crown-rump length (CRL) and (B) embryonic volume (EV) in relation to total homocysteine (tHcy) concentrations in the total study population. The tHcy concentration is expressed as +2 standard deviations (SD) (dashed line, corresponding to 10.3 μmol/L in the total study population) and −2 SD (continuous line, corresponding to 3.0 μmol/L). Gestational age (GA) is expressed in days. Full adjustment for parity, alcohol use, smoking, folic acid use, maternal age, body mass index, comorbidity, and fetal gender was performed.
