Abstract

Overweight and obesity significantly affect the parameters and outcomes of IVF treatment. The fertilization of the oocytes failed more often in the obese and overweight women. The lower pregnancy rates were achieved although the high oocytes recovery and high normal cleaved embryos were found in the obese women. The cause of the bad IVF treatment outcomes in the obese women seems to be probably the affected quality of the oocytes with lower fertilization and implantation potential eventually affected endometrium quality. The overweight reduction is the important part of infertility treatment in obese women.
