IVF and overweight
It has long been known that overweight can be the cause of many health problems. And the reproductive system of a woman is not an exception, because there are many studies that show that being overweight is often the reason for unsuccessful attempts at fertilization and pregnancy in general. After all these, extra pounds is not just adipose tissue that has accumulated, it is also a hormonal imbalance caused by a violation of the ratio of hormones in the blood. It can lead to disturbances in menstrual function, reduce the quality of eggs, and pathological development of the endometrium.
