The use of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for triggering final oocyte maturation and ovulation can reduce ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) in high-risk patients. LH levels post-trigger with GnRH agonist might be correlated with oocyte yield and maturity. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between serum LH level at 12-h post-trigger and oocyte yield, maturity and fertilization rate in patients at high risk of OHSS and therefore who were treated with a flexible GnRH antagonist protocol in which final oocyte maturation was triggered with GnRH agonist.
