Weight and fertility: new study examines frozen embryo transfer outcomes
NCT ID NCT07450300
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at over 1,800 frozen embryo transfer cycles to see if a woman's body mass index (BMI) affects whether the transfer can be done as planned and if it leads to pregnancy. Researchers compared obese and non-obese women using different hormone preparation methods. The goal was to understand if weight influences treatment success and cycle cancellation rates.

Who is studied
Women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) with frozen embryo transfer (FET) at a tertiary fertility center were retrospectively identified. The study population included adult patients who underwent endometrial preparation using one of the following protocols: modified natural cycle with ovulation trigger, stimulated cycle, or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Participants were categorized according to body mass index (BMI) into obese and non-obese groups for comparative analysis of embryo transfer feasibility and reproductive outcomes.
