The document summarizes new guidelines from ESHRE (European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology) regarding monitoring of IVF cycles and prevention of OHSS. Key points include:
1) Adding estradiol or hormonal panel measurements to ultrasound monitoring is probably not recommended for monitoring cycles based on evidence showing no improvement in efficacy or safety.
2) Triggering final oocyte maturation based on estradiol level or estradiol to follicle ratio is not recommended, as no studies have assessed use of these criteria.
3) For patients at high risk of OHSS, a GnRH agonist trigger followed by LH supplementation is recommended to reduce risk, and a freeze-all strategy is
Ovarian reserve testing is important before planning IVF cycle, ovulation induction, family planning reasons, before and after chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Ovarian reserve testing such as AMH may help also in diagnosis of granulosa cell tumors and amenorrhea.
Optimization of ovarian stimulation to improve success rate in ‘ART’Apollo Hospitals
ART is defined as the technique used where there is a need for in-vitro preparation or manipulation of gametes. The commonest ARTs are intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). Ovarian stimulation is required with these procedures to increase the pregnancy rate as ART with natural cycle has a very low pregnancy rate. Optimizing pregnancy rates per cycle is the real basis for ovarian stimulation protocols in ART.

Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome(OHSS), is a Rare iatrogenic complication of ovarian stimulation occurring during the luteal phase or during early pregnancy where a patient's ovaries become swollen and fluid builds up around her abdomen
a presentation about what is new in the management of some important complications such as poor ovarian reserve, poor responder , over responder and ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
Ovarian Hyperstimulation in Intrauterine InseminationElmar Breitbach
Intrauterine insemination is well established in the treatment of infertility. But which pretreatment leads to the best results? Do we have to trigger ovulation? What about luteal phase support? Whar patients do have the best chances? When do we have to switch to IVF?
Evidence based answers to these questions an a bit of experience based suggestions.
Adjuvant therapy, also known as adjunct therapy or add-on therapy, is therapy given in addition to the primary or initial therapy to maximize its effectiveness.
Add-ons have become ubiquitous with the process of assisted reproduction (ART) which is markedly more complex than it was at its inception.

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

3. In COS for fertility preservation in oestrogen sensitive
diseases the concomitant use of anti-oestrogen therapy,
such as letrozole or tamoxifen, is probably
recommended.
Conditional ⊕
The existing literature concerning controlled ovarian
stimulation for fertility preservation in women with oestrogen
sensitive cancer is limited by its observational nature, small
patient numbers and relatively short duration of follow-up.
Despite these limitations, both letrozole and tamoxifen
protocols may be safe

efficacy&

There are indications that thin endometrium is related to
lower CPR
Thin endometrium is infrequent (2-5%).
Interventions to correct thin EMT have
little rational basis&
should be abandoned until contrary evidence arises.

The decision on timing of triggering in relation to
follicle size is multi-factorial, taking into account the

Most often, final oocyte maturation is triggered at
sizes of several of the leading follicles

E2 levels during OS vary depending on
1. size of the growing follicular cohort
2. distribution of follicles between different size classes within
the growing cohort

Poor response to COS alone is not a reason to
cancel a cycle.
Strong ⊕
For low responders, PR may be low but not absent.
Counsel patients individually regarding
pregnancy prospects

ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
The physician should counsel the individual poor responder
regarding pregnancy prospects& decide individually whether to
continue this and/or further cycles.
Reported pregnancy rates among poor responders to ovarian
stimulation differ between 0 – max reported 18%. These differences
could be explained by the exact number of oocytes retrieved, as well as
the age of the patient and indication for treatment. Although pregnancy
rates may be low, they are not absent per se.

In GnRHa cycles with an ovarian response of ≥18
follicles, there is an increased risk of OHSS&
preventative measures are recommended, which
could include cycle cancellation.
Strong ⊕
Regarding a high response there are also no solid criteria to cancel a cycle.
A high response identifies women most at risk for OHSS.
Therefore, preventive measures are recommended which could include cycle cancellation.

5. GnRHa bolus, in addition to progesterone for LPS in
hCG triggered cycles can only be used in the context of
a clinical trial
Current evidence indicates higher live birth /pregnancy rates
with GnRH agonist bolus in addition to progesterone, repeated
GnRH agonist infections alone or in addition to progesterone
for LPS.
Limited evidence suggests that GnRH agonist for LPS does
not increase the risk of OHSS.
However, long-term health effects in the new-born have not
been studied.
Until these data are available, the GDG recommends to use
GnRH agonist for LPS only in the context of clinical trials.

E. PREVENTION OF OHSS
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
1. Prior to start of COS, a risk assessment for high
response is advised.
GPP
High risk:
PCOS
An above average ovarian reserve status
High ovarian response as indicated by
Follicle number at US
High E2 levels, or
High number of oocytes obtained
Applying the freeze-all strategy implies the presence of a high-quality cryopreservation
program.

PCOS women with regards to improved safety&
equal efficacy.

improved safety & equal efficacy.

if GnRHa protocols are used, reduced GnT dose is
recommended to decrease the risk of OHSS.

3. GnRHa trigger
is recommended for final oocyte maturation in
women at risk of OHSS.
Strong ⊕
Triggering final oocyte maturation with GnRHa significantly
reduces the risk of early-onset OHSS
GnRHa trigger should be followed by LPS with LH-
activity (hCG or LH)

GnRHa trigger
is preferred over HCG in
patients at risk of OHSS
cases where no fresh transfer is performed.
Conditional ⊕
Evidence from RCTs performed in oocyte donors indicates that GnRHa
trigger is preferable over hCG when freeze-all is applied.
ABOUBAKR ELNASHAR
GnRHa trigger
is preferred over coasting strategy in
patients at risk of OHSS.
with or without a freeze-all strategy
GPP
The two most relevant studies were both on retrospective data, with inherent
methodological and risk of bias problems.
Therefore, the GDG cannot recommend coasting and hCG trigger over GnRHa
trigger for final oocyte maturation.

Cabergoline or albumin as additional preventive
measures for OHSS are not recommended.

4. Freeze-all strategy
recommended to eliminate the risk of late-onset
OHSS
applicable in both GnRHa & GnRHan protocols.
Strong ⊕⊕⊕
The current evidence suggests that freeze all lowers the
OHSS risk, without completely eliminating the condition.
The latter urges for follow up of haemo-concentration status
even in cases with the freeze-all strategy applied.
