We intended to determine whether low dose u-hCG was effective for oocyte maturation in IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles independent of body mass index (BMI). Materials and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated a cohort of 295 women who underwent their first IVF/ICSI cycles between January 2003 and December 2010 at the Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, USA. Treatment cycles were divided into 3 groups based on BMI (kg/ m2):}, keywords = {Body Mass Index,Urinary Human Chorionic Gonadotropin,Fertilization,Pregnancy Rate,Live Birth Rate}, url = {https://www.ijfs.ir/article_45408.html}, eprint = {https://www.ijfs.ir/article_45408_bcf5263bea8155b3454bffa34e672af2.pdf} }
