Does obesity affect IVF?

Patient's question:

Because of a certain illness, I have been unable to stop taking medication for a long time. Due to the medication, my endocrine system has been affected. Now, I want to stop taking the medication and regulate my body. I would like to know if obesity affects IVF.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this does have an impact. Obese women find it more difficult during the ovulation induction process. Therefore, it is recommended to exercise and diet to achieve a normal body mass index before undergoing IVF. This will increase the chances of success. Additionally, during the IVF process, it is important to maintain a positive mindset and avoid excessive stress, as too much stress is not beneficial for delivery.
