Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) results from an exaggerated response to ovulation induction, characterized by a fluid shift from the intravascular space to third space compartments. The incidence of moderate OHSS is approximately 3–6% and severe OHSS occurs in 0.1–3% of treatment cycles [1, 2]. A number of causal mechanisms have been investigated, involving estradiol (E2), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). A strong association between E2 concentrations and risk for developing OHSS has been observed consistently [3].A growing awareness and interest in treatments aimed at fertility preservation (FP) has led many women to pursue urgent oocyte or embryo cryopreservation. Those with estrogen-sensitive cancers often receive adjunctive treatment with letrozole, in efforts to limit exposure to elevated estrogen concentrations that typically result from exogenous gonadotropin stimulation; letrozole inhibits estrogen production by binding competitively to the cytochrome P450 component of the aromatase enzyme.
