| Abstract | ||
| Aim of the work: ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is an iatrogenic, serious and potentially fatal complication of ovarian stimulation, affecting1–14% of all IVF/ICSI cycles. This study aimed to compare cabergoline after hCG administration with delayed hCG administration (coasting) in high risk patients to prevent OHSS in ART cycles. Patients and methods: this prospective comparative randomized study included 100 patients at risk of OHSS performed in the Assisted Reproductive Technologies Center, Al-Azhar University and in Private IVF Centers during the period from November, 2015 to October, 2016. Results: comparison between the two groups showed no significant difference regarding age, BMI, presence of risk factors of OHSS, but there was a significant difference regarding FSH, LH and the mean diameter of follicles on day of hCG administration. Conclusion: PCOS affects 5 to 10% of women of childbearing age and is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility in developed countries. Recommendations: further studies including large number of cases and for longer duration will further confirm the efficacy of cabergoline and coasting on prevention of OHSS. | ||
