title: Can FSH co-trigger prevent OHSS?
abstract: FSH co-trigger after ovarian stimulation has been shown to improve oocyte competence and a recent report suggested that the FSH co-trigger can completely prevent OHSS. We report two cases of late OHSS after the FSH co-trigger was administered, underscoring the need for further research on the mechanisms, effects, benefits, and potential risks of FSH co-trigger.
