Abstract
Objective: To determine whether body mass index (BMI) affects intrauterine insemination treatment success.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Academic medical center.
Patient(s): A total of 3,217 intrauterine insemination treatment cycles in 1,306 patients.
Intervention(s): None.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Primary outcome was live birth rate stratified by BMI. Secondary outcomes included rates of clinical pregnancy (defined as an intrauterine pregnancy with a heartbeat present on ultrasound), multiple gestation, biochemical pregnancy, missed abortion, ectopic, and spontaneous abortion.
Result(s): Women with BMI 25 to 29.99 kg/m(2) or >= 30 kg/m(2) were equally likely to have a live birth as women of normal BMI. Women with BMI >= 30 kg/m(2) did have a higher likelihood of biochemical pregnancy than women with normal BMI.
Conclusion(s): A BMI between 25 and 29.99 kg/m(2) or >= 30 kg/m(2) does not appear to have a negative effect on live birth after intra-uterine insemination. Obesity may be associated with a higher risk of biochemical pregnancy after intrauterine insemination. (C) 2020 by American Society for Reproductive Medicine.
