    This study analyzed the impact of trigger-day serum LH levels on IVF outcomes in overweight and obese women undergoing GnRH antagonist protocols.

  • 2

    Higher trigger-day LH levels were associated with poorer ovarian response and embryo quality in the studied population.

  • 3

    No significant differences in clinical pregnancy or live birth rates were observed among different LH level groups after the first embryo transfer.

  • 4

    The study found that elevated LH levels do not independently predict clinical pregnancy rates in overweight and obese women.

  • 5

    Understanding the relationship between LH levels and IVF outcomes can help optimize clinical management for overweight patients.
