• Body mass index
• intercourse frequency
• ovulation
• polycystic ovary syndrome

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/m(2).
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 >= 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. (Fertil Steril (R) 2010;94:144750.
