Researchers from Tommy's National Centre for Miscarriage Research at the University of Birmingham looked at the connection between vitamin D and the outcomes of ART, such as IVF and frozen embryo transfer.
The team explored information from 11 studies that included 2,700 women who were undergoing ART. It was revealed that live births were a third more likely to occur in women who had the right amount of vitamin D compared to women who did not.
Furthermore, it was found that women who had sufficient vitamin D were 34% more likely to have a positive pregnancy test and 46% more likely to achieve a clinical pregnancy, compared to women who had low levels of vitamin D.
The team say that possible roles played by vitamin D in pregnancy may be that it affects the success of embryo implantation in the womb, or that it indicates the general wellbeing of the women.
Dr Justin Chu, Lead Researcher, said: "Although an association has been identified, the beneficial effect of correction of vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency needs to be tested by performing a clinical trial.
"In the meantime, women who want to achieve a successful pregnancy should not rush off to their local pharmacy to buy vitamin D supplements until we know more about its effects.
"It is possible to overdose on vitamin D and this can lead to too much calcium building up in the body, which can weaken bones and damage the heart and kidneys."
