  Purpose: Previous studies have suggested that obesity can affect the oocyte yield, embryo quality and pregnancy rates following IVF. In vitro maturation differs from IVF in several ways including lack of controlled ovarian stimulation, oocyte retrieval when majority are expected to be still immature, and possibly different endometrial environment due to short secretory phase and the lack of exposure to supraphysiologic estrogen levels. Therefore female obesity can affect IVM and IVF cycles differentially. This study aims to assess the effect of female obesity on IVM outcomes in women without polycystic ovarian syndrome. Methods: Retrospective chart review of 125 women who underwent an IVM cycle during a 5 year period. Women were divided to four categories based on Body Mass Index (BMI) according to the World Health Organization classification. Procedural and clinical.. View More»
