Impact of overweight and underweight on assisted reproduction treatment

TLDR
Obesity is associated with lower chances for live birth after IVF and ICSI and with an impaired response to ovarian stimulation and with a increased risk of early pregnancy loss occurring before 6 weeks gestation.
Abstract
RESULTS: The cumulative live birth rate within three treatment cycles was 41.4% [95% confidence interval (CI) 32.1– 50.7] in obese women with BMI $30 kg/m 2 and 50.3 (95% CI 47.0–53.7) in normal weight women with BMI 18.5– 24.9 kg/m 2 . Obesity was associated with an increased risk of early pregnancy loss occurring before 6 weeks gestation. Positive correlation between BMI and gonadotrophin requirement during stimulation and negative correlation between BMI and number of collected oocytes were observed. Underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m 2 ) was not related to an impaired outcome of IVF or ICSI. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity is associated with lower chances for live birth after IVF and ICSI and with an impaired response to ovarian stimulation.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as a predictive marker in assisted reproductive technology (ART)

TL;DR: AMH seems to be a better marker in predicting ovarian response to controlled ovarian stimulation than age of the patient, FSH, estradiol and inhibin B, and a similar performance for AMH and antral follicular count has been reported.

Does high body mass index increase the risk of miscarriage after spontaneous and assisted conception? A meta-analysis of the evidence

TL;DR: There is evidence that obesity may increase the general risk of miscarriage, however, there is insufficient evidence to describe the effect of obesity on miscarriage in specific groups such as those conceiving after assisted conception.

Effect of overweight and obesity on assisted reproductive technology—a systematic review

TL;DR: There is insufficient evidence on the effect of BMI on live birth, cycle cancellation, oocyte recovery and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, and further studies with clear entry criteria and uniform reporting of outcomes are needed to investigate the true impact of weight.

Weight loss in obese infertile women results in improvement in reproductive outcome for all forms of fertility treatment.

TL;DR: Weight loss should be considered as a first option for women who are infertile and overweight, and the cost savings of the programme were considerable.

Leptin and reproduction: a review.

TL;DR: Leptin may act as the critical link between adipose tissue and the reproductive system, indicating whether adequate energy reserves are present for normal reproductive function and providing new therapeutic options for the reproductive dysfunction associated with states of relative leptin deficiency or resistance.

TL;DR: Individualized pharmacological support aimed at favouring weight loss and improving insulin resistance should be widely extended in clinical practice in obese infertile patients, thereby permitting favourable physiological delivery and healthy babies.
