Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study will take place in women undergoing IVF who are high responders (\>=14 follicles\>=11mm) and hence at risk for developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), treated with a GnRH antagonist protocol and administered GnRH agonist to trigger final oocyte maturation.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Serial assessment of follicle number and size is used routinely to assess the response to ovarian stimulation during assisted reproduction treatment (ART). Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound is used to identify and scroll through each ovary while the observer quantifies the number of follicles present. An objective assessment of the size of the larger follicles, commonly those measuring \>10 mm, is then made through a series of 2D measurements of their perceived mean diameter.
Sono Automated Volume Calculation (SonoAVC; GE Medical Systems) is a new software program that can be applied to datasets acquired with use of threedimensional (3D) ultrasound. It individually identifies and quantifies the size of any hypoechoic region within these 3D datasets, providing an automatic estimation of their absolute dimensions and volume. SonoAVC is an ideal and, potentially, a clinically important tool for the assessment and measurement of follicles during controlled ovarian stimulation because each hypoechoic area is individually color coded, thereby eliminating the possibility of measuring the same follicle more than once.
In women with high ovarian response to gonadotrophin stimulation, the accurate measurement of the number and size of follicles present in hyperstimulated ovaries is a challenge for clinicians and ultrasonographers.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of timing final oocyte maturation trigger and egg collection on the basis of follicular measurements made automatically with SonoAVC against those made with conventional 2D ultrasound in relation to the number of mature oocytes collected. This study will include women undergoing ART who are high responders (presence of =\>14 follicles\>=11mm) and hence at risk for developing ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), treated with a GnRH antagonist protocol and are administered GnRH agonist to trigger final oocyte maturation. All resulting embryos (blastocysts) will be cryopreserved and transferred in a subsequent frozen cycle.
