Does OHSS affect embryo quality?

Conclusion(s): The inferior quality and maturity of oocytes in OHSS reduced the fertilization rate but did not affect the quality or the number of embryos transferred or the pregnancy rate.

Does OHSS reduce egg quality?

OHSS is also associated with poor egg/embryo quality. This is especially so in women with high ovarian LH-induced testosterone (e.g. those with PCOS). These often present with poorly developed (“dysmorphic”) eggs, with reduced fertilization potential and yielding “poor quality embryos”.

How do you prevent hyperstimulation in IVF?

Strategies to help prevent OHSS include:

1. Adjusting medication. Your doctor uses the lowest possible dose of gonadotropins to stimulate your ovaries and trigger ovulation.
2. Adding medication.
3. Coasting.
4. Avoiding use of an HCG trigger shot.
5. Freezing embryos.

The haemoconcentration, electrolyte imbalance, hypoxia, liver and renal dysfunction that are present in severe and critical OHSS may cause haemodynamic instability that is probably not harmful to the implantation process but may affect early pregnancy subsequent to implantation.

How is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome treated in ivf1?

What is the treatment for ovarian hypertension ( OHSS )?

Treatment for moderate OHSS may involve: Daily weigh-ins and waist measurements to check for drastic changes Blood tests to monitor for dehydration, electrolyte imbalance and other problems

Can a gonadotropin injection cause ovarian hyperstimulation?

OHSS is a potential side effect of fertility drugs, particularly with injectables (gonadotropins) taken during an IVF treatment cycle. Anywhere from 20% to 33% of women going through IVF treatment will experience ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome.
