Material and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in the infertility department at Maternity and Children Hospital (MCH) Sakaka, from January 2019 to December 2019. A total of 267 infertile women among obese (n = 148) and non-obese (n = 119) by calculating their body mass index. The laboratory report of reproductive hormones was collected from hospital records files. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20.00 with a chi-square test. Results: The luteinizing hormone 2.545 ± 1.579, follicle-stimulating hormone 6.614 ± 4.019, Prolactin 26.815 ± 13.112, testosterone 0.317 ± 0.158 and thyroid-stimulating hormone 4.89 ± 1.23 shown higher in obese than 3.473 ± 1.871, 6.424 ± 3.504, 24.297 ± 17.414, 0.268 ± 0.160 and 3.91 ± 0.73 non-obese infertile women respectively and significant (P < 0.05). While estradiol 0.33 ± 0.26 and progesterone15.02 ± 9.46 were slightly higher in obese infertility but there was no significance.
