Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between body mass index and intercourse compliance in the Reproductive Medicine Network's Pregnancy in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (RMN PPCOS) Trial. DESIGN: Post hoc data analysis of subjects in the RMN PPCOS Trial. SETTING: Academic medical centers. INTERVENTION(S): None. PATIENT(S): Six hundred twenty-six infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with a mean age of 28.1+/-4 years and mean body mass index (BMI) of 35.2+/-8.7 kg/m2. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Intercourse compliance and BMI. RESULT(S): Overall, body mass index was not associated with increased intercourse compliance. However, although patients with BMI>or=35 were less likely to ovulate than patients with BMI<35, they tend to be more compliant with intercourse frequency in ovulatory cycles than patients with BMI<35. CONCLUSION(S): BMI was not associated with intercourse compliance or noncompliance. An elevated BMI in infertile women with PCOS is not associated with poor intercourse compliance.
