Summary

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) is one of the most dangerous complications of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) cycles. The use in clinical practice of the GnRH antagonist has made it possible to perform the trigger with GnRH analogues reducing the risk of OHSS. The trigger with analogue increases the Abortion Rate (AR) and reduces the Ongoing Pregnancy Rate (OPR), because the luteal phase in these cycles is particularly deficient. To reduce this occurrence several studies have focused on the importance of support of the luteal phase. The aims of study is to evaluate OPR and AR in patients at intermediate risk of OHSS (\<18 recovered oocytes) which performed GnRH trigger and rescue protocol.

Conditions

  • GnRH Trigger and Rescue Protocol

Interventions

DRUG

GnRH agonist

In High Responder patients (HR) (more than 18 follicles with diameter ≥ 12mm at ovulation induction), the trigger was obtained with triptorelin 0.2 mg sc. In this cohort if less of 18 oocytes were retrieved, patients were considered at intermediate risk of OHSS and fresh transfer was performed. An adequate support of the luteal phase was initiated: HCG 1500 IU / sc the day of the pick up + estradiol 4 mg + vaginal progesterone 400 mg daily (Rescue protocol).
