The risk is further increased by multiple doses of hCG after ovulation and if the procedure results in pregnancy. [2] Using a GnRH agonist instead of hCG for inducing final oocyte maturation and/or release results in an elimination of the risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, but a slight decrease of the delivery rate of approximately 6%. [3]
Very low risk for IVF cycle cancellation. Some risk for ovarian overstimulation: Best overall as a group [6] with approx. 35% [7] Low doses of gonadotropins More than 30: High: Likely high: Overstimulation and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: Very good overall as a group, but potential egg quality issues [6] Low doses of gonadotropins
Bray was suffering from a complication known as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). It is one of the most common risks of fertility treatments, as the injectable hormone medications that ...
Common side effects include ovarian enlargement, hot flash, abdominal distention, breast discomfort, and hyperlipidemia. Rare adverse effects are ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and visual abnormalities. [13] Long-term use may raise risk of ovarian cancer, such that long-term therapy (more than 6 cycles) is not recommended. [13] [14]
Induction of final maturation (such as done with hCG) may need to be withheld because of increased risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. [26] The starting dose of the inducing drug should be reduced in the next cycle. [26] Alternatives to cancelling a cycle are mainly: Aspiration of supernumerary follicles until one or two remain. [26] [27]
Estrogen antagonists and gonadotropins may stimulate multiple follicles and other ovarian hormones leading to multiple birth and possible ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). [30] Development of OHSS is dependent on the administration of hCG and is mediated through vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). OHSS is characterized as cystic ...
This practice can be disadvantageous in several ways: It is very costly, can become complicated and may also predispose to several undesirable side effects, such as ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). [19] [21] Ovarian hyperstimulation can cause severe OHSS in up to 2% of cases. OHSS can have serious consequences, including respiratory ...
The vast majority of the population has risk factors that put them at risk for CKM syndrome: 73% live with overweight or obesity, half of adults have high blood pressure, over 38 million American ...
