NCT ID NCT07174817
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a three-month diet and exercise program before IVF could improve live birth rates in overweight and obese women. 197 women were randomly assigned to either the weight loss group or a control group. The goal was to see if losing weight beforehand leads to more successful pregnancies.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that losing weight before IVF increases the chance of having a baby for overweight and obese women.
What could go wrong
