Abstract
The aim of the present study was to assess the impact of professional nutrition assistance on assisted reproduction technology (ART) outcomes in overweight or obese patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). The study represents a retrospective analysis of fertilization rates, embryo quality and gestations after ART in seven PCOS patients, five obese and two overweight. The women attended a private Fertility Center in Brazil between the years 2010 and 2016. Out of the seven patients, the three that reached a successful gestation were the ones that underwent comprehensive lifestyle changes, taking care of their diet for a more prolonged period of time and reached an ideal weight loss during the nutrition counseling period.
