IVF and the obese

November 13, 2007

Whether they are seeking treatment on the NHS or privately, professionals are being urged to deny treatment to women with a Body Mass Index of more than 35.

Where possible, the British Fertility Society says IVF should be offered only when her BMI has dropped below 30 – a figure based on both height and weight.
