Induction of ovulation by gonadotropins is one of the major developments in the treatment of infertility in the second half of the 20th century, from the first description of a successful induction of ovulation described by Gemzell et al.(1) in 1958 to the present, when ovulation induction with gonadotropins is an important component of in vitro fertilization (IVF), gamete intrafallopian transfer (GlFT), and intraperitoneal insemination (IP).

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a severe iatrogenic complication of the treatment for ovulation induction and in spite of its being less common nowadays, it still has a very serious impact on the patient's health and may cause severe morbidity, even mortality.
