Treatment
An agonist trigger causes the body's own short LH surge and clears from the system quickly, substantially reducing the risk of severe OHSS. Because it also weakens the luteal phase, it is usually combined with a freeze-all approach or with modified luteal support.
Also known as: lupron trigger, buserelin trigger
