Calcium Dobesilate Versus Coasting for Prevention of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome

February 13, 2017 updated by: khalid abd aziz mohamed
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of oral Calcium Dobesilate versus costing in the prevention of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high-risk women underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Detailed Description

Two hundred and twenty women at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome during ICSI cycles will be randomly scheduled into two equal groups. In group A, (Calcium Dobesilate group), 1 cap / 8 hs Doxium ( 500mg) will be given at day of HCG injection and for 3 weeks ; while in group B (Coasting group), coasting (withholding gonadotrophins while maintaining pituitary suppression) follow up every day by measuring E2 for 3 days then either giving triggering or cycle cancellation is done
