Abstract

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a serious and potentially life-threatening complication following ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF). Coasting is the practice whereby the gonadotrophins are withheld and the administration of human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is delayed until serum oestradiol (E2) has decreased to what is considered to be a safe level, to prevent the onset of OHSS. This study aimed to assess the length of coasting on the reproductive outcome in women at risk of developing OHSS. Coasting was undertaken when the serum E2 concentrations were ≥7000 pmol/L but
