Thin women are not given maternity

Deficiency of weight reduces the chances of a successful conception in women even more than obesity. That is the conclusion reached by researchers from the Center for Advanced Fertility treatment of infertility in Chicago.

Ideally, if the weight of the expectant mother is in the normal range, it increases the likelihood of successful conception . Scientists from the US have decided to find out what is the most unsuitable for conception -   underweight   or excess. It turned out that women are too thin in this regard has not carried more than complete.

According to study author Dr. Richard Serban, the risk of excess weight in connection with the conception of the child medicine in recent studies it is quite wide, but underweight in this respect largely ignored. Serban observed the 2500 rate of IVF carried out at his clinic over a period of 8 years.

He divided the women into three groups - with underweight In the normal range and obesity. The group of "normal" were those who from the classical point of view, had a few extra kilos. Approximately 50% of those over IVF birth of a child. In the group of obese women with the success observed in 45%, but in the first group just 34%. This group included women who had a body mass index of 14 to 18. "Some studies have indicated that underweight   It can also make it difficult the success of conception As overweight, but we did not expect to find such a significant difference, "- says Dr. Serban. In his opinion, one of the scientific explanation for this pattern may be that embryos can be difficult to gain a foothold in the uterus thin women because that they do not get enough nutrients necessary for normal functioning.
