Vitamin D deficiency is common, and its correction has been suggested as a simple and safe way of improving IVF treatment outcomes. Vitamin D has been found to be of importance in implantation and the development of normal pregnancy. Deficiency has been associated with complications such as fetal growth restriction and pre-eclampsia. It has been suggested that routine testing and correction of vitamin D deficiency should be carried out on all women undergoing IVF treatment. Despite published evidence suggesting that this strategy should be employed, testing and treatment of vitamin D deficiency is still not routine practice in infertile women. Treating vitamin D deficiency should be undertaken in women seeking fertility treatment to optimise the chances of success and to reduce the risks of obstetric complications.
