the objective of this study was to examine the correlation between both midfollicular fsh/lh ratio and number(s) of follicles with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) in patients with polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). this was carried out in ivf unit at mirza kouchak khan hospital. to induce ovulation, pcos patients were stimulated with gonadotropines. fifty four pcos patients with norma...

failure to respond adequately to standard protocols and to recruit adequate follicles is called ‘poor response’. this results in decreased oocyte production, cycle cancellation and, overall, is associated with a significantly diminished probability of pregnancy. it has been shown that ovarian reserve tests, such as basal fsh, antimullarian hormone (amh), inhibin b, basal estradiol, antral folli...

BACKGROUND Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a recognized complication of ovulation induction, occurring in 1-10% of IVF and embryo transfer cycles. While mild OHSS is of no clinical relevance, severe OHSS is a life threatening complication. However, the efficacy of prevalent treatments appeared to be limited. We developed a continuous autotransfusion system with an ultrafiltration in...

the use of ovarian stimulation for infertility treatment is associated with side effects of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (ohss) and potential cancer risk. this is also true in high risk women such as those polycystic with ovary (pco) and polycystic ovarian syndrome (pcos). in vitro maturation (ivm) of oocytes was primarily developed to make ivf safe for women with pco and at high risk of o...
