    The study analyzed 209 infertile couples undergoing their first IVF/ICSI cycle to assess the impact of couple-level dyslipidemia on pregnancy outcomes.

  • 2

    Female dyslipidemia was linked to longer stimulation duration, higher gonadotropin doses, and lower fertilization rates in IVF/ICSI cycles.

  • 3

    Male dyslipidemia correlated with fewer transferable embryos and lower fertilization rates, affecting overall embryological outcomes.

  • 4

    Couples with bilateral dyslipidemia showed significantly higher odds of cumulative miscarriage and lower odds of cumulative live birth.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that dyslipidemia in either partner negatively impacts embryological and cumulative pregnancy outcomes in IVF/ICSI.
