This study explores the impact of homocysteine levels on infertility and IVF outcomes. A total of 50 patients with abnormal homocysteine levels underwent IVF after normalization, while 40 patients proceeded without prior testing. The results showed a significant improvement in antral follicle count (16.15±1.45 vs. 12.76±1.28, p<0.05) and high-quality oocyte retrieval (9.25±0.87 vs. 8.00±1.26, p<0.05) in the main group. Pregnancy rates were also higher in the main group (62% vs. 47.5%, OR=1.8, p<0.05). These findings suggest that optimizing homocysteine levels before IVF can enhance pregnancy success rates by up to 14%.
