Optimal ovarian stimulation requires the ability to “tailor” the stimulation protocol to the particular needs of the patient. There is no protocol that will be appropriate for every patient. “One size does not fit all!”

The goal of this program was to provide physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare providers with an understanding of how to manage hyper and hypo responders.


Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this program, the participant will be able to:

Describe and characterize the three categories of ovarian response.

Identify and interpret tests of ovarian reserve and response.

Describe three ovarian stimulation protocols for the hypo-responder.

Describe three ovarian stimulation protocols for the hyper-responder.

Identify three methods specifically aimed at the prevention of severe Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS).
