Critical ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome in a coasted in-vitro fertilization patient.

Coasting. A viable option for patients at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.

OBJECTIVES To present our experience in 48 coasted patients and how they performed in terms of the number of eggs collected, numbers of embryos available for embryo transfer after in vitro fertilization, pregnant and on going pregnancy rate. METHODS The study was conducted at Lister Hospital, London, United Kingdom, during the period October 1998 through to May 2001. For the purpose of the st...

Nephrotic Sydrome Developing in Severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

Cut-Off Levels of Anti-Mullerian Hormone for The Prediction of Ovarian Response, In Vitro Fertilization Outcome and Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

Background Evaluation of anti-mullerian hormone (AMH) cut-off levels in assisted reproductive technology (ART) as predictive factor for individualization of stimulation protocols and to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). MaterialsAndMethods In a retrospective study, 177 infertile patients were assessed for AMH in serum and follicular fluid (FF) on the day of follicular puncture (FP...

Rescue In Vitro Maturation in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Patients Undergoing In Vitro Fertilization Treatment who Overrespond or Underrespond to Ovarian Stimulation: Is It A Viable Option? A Case Series Study

Background: This study intends to present the role of rescue in vitro maturation (IVM) in polycystic ovarian syndrome(PCOS) patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment who have inappropriate responses to ovarianstimulation.Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective case series study of five PCOS patients undergoing IVF treatmentconsidered for cycle ca...

Resurgence of Minimal Stimulation In Vitro Fertilization with A Protocol Consisting of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone-Agonist Trigger and Vitrified-Thawed Embryo Transfer

Minimal stimulation in vitro fertilization (mini-IVF) consists of a gentle controlled ovarian stimulation that aims to produce a maximum of five to six oocytes. There is a misbelief that mini-IVF severely compromises pregnancy and live birth rates. An appraisal of the literature pertaining to studies on mini-IVF protocols was performed. The advantages of minimal stimulation protocols are report...
