Withholding hCG and cycle cancellation-once the main methods of preventing OHSS-are now seldom used. There is a growing body of evidence to support the use of coasting to prevent OHSS, without cycle cancellation," investigators in Egypt report.

It appears that intravenous albumin or hydroxyethyl starch at the time of oocyte retrieval is beneficial in preventing OHSS, but does not offer complete protection," according to M.A. Aboulghar and colleagues, Egyptian IVF ET Center.
