Objectives: To determine the effect of BMI on ICSI outcome. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: The ART Unit in the International Islamic Center for Population Studies and Research (IICPSR), Al-Azhar University. Patients: The study used data collected from 550 who women had ICSI cycles at our center; the women were classified according BMI as follow; ( <18.5 Kg/m2; > 18.5 - < 25 Kg/m2; >25- 30 Kg/m2; >30 Kg/m2). Main Outcome Measures: Duration of stimulation, consumption of gonadolropin, cycle cancellation, total oocyte retrieval, laboratory outcome and pregnancy outcome. Results: The pregnancy outcome was 27% for BMI > 18.5 - <25 Kg/m2- and 20% for BMI >25 - <30 Kg/m2 and BMI >30 Kg/m2, this difference was not statistically significant; also the number of HMO ampules were 34.1 ± 13.1 for 13Ml >30 Kg/m2 and 32.2 ± 12.5 for BMI >25 - < 30 Kg/m2 and 25.1 ±11.9 for BMI 18.5 - < 25 Kg/m2, this difference was statistically significant. Conclusion: The overweight and obesity did not affect the ICSI outcome.
