Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients are prone to develop ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), a condition which can be minimized or completely eliminated by the use of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) trigger. In this opinion paper we maintain that the GnRH antagonist protocol should be the protocol of choice for the PCOS patient undergoing ovarian stimulation with gonadotropins for IVF. If an excessive ovarian response is encountered, the clinician will always have two options: either to trigger final oocyte maturation with a bolus of GnRHa and supplement the luteal phase with a small bolus of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in addition to the standard luteal phase support and transfer in the fresh cycle or alternatively to trigger with GnRHa and perform a total freeze, resulting in a complete elimination of OHSS and high ongoing pregnancy rates in the subsequent frozen thaw transfer cycles. |
