'''Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome'''
 Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome  (OHSS) can occur after taking medicines that stimulate your ovaries, such as clomifene and gonadtrophins, and This can develop after a round of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). OHSS causes your ovaries to swell and produce too many follicles (small fluid-filled sacs in which an egg develops).
Around one-third of women will experience mild OHSS after one cycle of IVF. Less than 10% will develop moderate or severe OHSS after one cycle of IVF.
'''Mild symptoms may include:'''
* nausea
* vomiting
* dark, concentrated urine
'''Severe OHSS''', A potentially life-threatening condition and can lead to:
* thrombosis (a blood clot in an artery or vein)
