Abstract

Clomiphene citrate is an orally active non-steroidal triphenylethylene derivative which is commonly used for ovulation induction. It is considered a safe agent and is rarely associated with ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. This report describes a case of moderate ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome after ovulation induction with clomiphene without associated pregnancy which was managed conservatively.
