| Sumario: | Previous research and clinical reports have discovered that body weight significantly affects a patient’s fertility status. Underweight, overweight, or obese women may experience reduced fertility. Currently, assisted reproductive technology (ART) is used as treatment for infertile couples to conceive a child. However, whether abnormal body mass indexes (BMIs) affect infertile oocyte production is not clear. The objective of this study is to determine the association between BMI and retrieved oocyte numbers. A total of 136 IVF patient data in 2016 was reported from Reproductive Health Center. The relationship between patient’s BMI and retrieved oocyte numbers has been analyzed and their correlation coefficients between patients’ age, oocyte numbers, and BMI have been calculated. The results further proved that BMI affects collecting oocyte numbers and oocyte maturation rate. Overweight patients had fewer oocytes retrieved than that of normal weight patients. Likewise, obese patients had even fewer oocytes retrieved than that of both normal-weight and overweight patients. Underweight BMIs seem to have no effect on the number of oocytes collected; however, the oocyte quality and embryo production needs to be further studied. Results from this study may be used by IVF physicians and practitioners when consulting patients for IVF treatments. |
