How to Avoid the IVF Catastrophe of OHSS with guest Dr. Nichole Barker

As part of the IVF cycle, patients are given hormones which stimulates the ovaries to allow all the possible follicles and eggs to grow. The good news is that this often allows us to capture as many healthy eggs as possible in one cycle, giving a patient a better chance at a healthy embryo. One possible side effect is Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. Dr. Nichole Barker of Seattle Reproductive Medicine joins me on the podcast today to talk all about OHSS. What do you need to know before IVF? What are the symptoms of OHSS? What’s the protocol for a patient (and her doctor) should she have symptoms?⠀ Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.
