Obesity is not associated with the poor pregnancy outcome following intracytoplasmic sperm injection in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract: The body mass index did not affect the outcome of in vitro fertilization in women with polycystic ovary syndrome. Additional research is required to better understand the role of stimulation protocols on the cycle outcome.

“…Similar to our results, high BMI was associated with a decline in oocyte number either in different infertile populations or in high responders. 17,18,21 In our study, despite lower oocyte yield, no significant effect of BMI was found on oocyte fertilization, embryo implantation and pregnancy outcomes, which is consistent with the previous findings. 18,22 Relatively less but considerable number of mature oocytes in obese high responders is thought to contribute to an acceptable number of good quality embryos in our study.…”

“…Two recent retrospective analyses revealed a similar trend. 21,24 Since excess numbers of oocytes was shown to correlate positively with OHSS rates, relatively lower oocyte yield in overweight and especially in obese patients seems to justify the less OHSS incidence. 10 Secondly; despite preventive measures, we still detected 8.3% overall OHSS rate in our dataset.…”

“…Obesity increases the volume of distribution of drugs, which increases the amount of drug required for the equivalent action at the target organ. 18 Obesity also decreases sex hormone-binding globulin levels, which increases the levels of free oestradiol and testosterone. 19 Fatty tissue converts testosterone into oestriol, which is a much less potent oestrogen than oestradiol.…”

“…The need to increase gonadotropin concentrations is also associated with differences in the absorption, distribution, and clearance rate of the administered gonadotropins by the excessive adipose tissue (71). Akpınar et al (77) reported an increase in the total gonadotropin consumption and a decrease in the number of retrieved oocytes with an increased body mass index. However, they found an implantation and clinical pregnancy rate in obese and overweight women, similar to normal weight women following intracytoplasmic sperm injection.…”
