We report a case of a 22-year-old single female with spontaneous ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (s-OHSS) referred for transvaginal aspiration of follicles. Investigations revealed primary hypothyroidism, mild hyperprolactinaemia and unelevated levels of both follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and estradiol. Supplementation with L-thyroxine lead to euthyroid status and gradual resolution of signs and symptoms of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) over 4 months.
