EFFECT OF TSH, PROLACTIN, FSH AND BMI ON IVF CYCLE RESULTS

The purpose of the study is to identify the association between BMI, high TSH, prolactin, and FSH with IVF results.

Methods: This retrospective analysis conducted at (KAUH) IVF Centre, all patients undergoing IVF from 1/2/2014 to 1/11/2015 reviewed. Pregnancy rate identified and factors affecting the rate analysed. 

Results: Included in the study 295 IVF patients aged 20 to 45, BMI ranged (14.4 - 56.60) a mean 29.169 (SD ± 6.56), 212 failed to get pregnant, and 83 had a positive pregnancy test. (Pregnancy Rate = 28.10%). Duration of infertility, TSH were not different in two groups. Age was statistically different, p<0.05 and The BMI were less in the positive pregnancy group, the difference was statistically significant p <0.010. The TSH there was no difference in both group p< 0.396, prolactin was high p, 0.008, and FSH was high 0.042 in the negative group. When Odd’s ratio and 95% confidence interval for each BMI category for negative and positive pregnancy test calculated 0.377 (0.217-0.654) p< 0.001

Conclusion: Factors that have an effect on pregnancy rate were younger patients with normal prolactin and FSH less than 10 and low BMI (patients BMI 18.5 – 24.9).
