Summary of request

The Authority was asked for a copy of the FOI release that has been reported in several newspapers regarding the number of cases of OHSS.

HFEA response

The HFEA does not recognise the figure of nearly 30,000 cases of OHSS quoted in the press articles referred to and does not hold the information requested. The Authority understands this figure was misquoted by the press and was, in fact, the number of treatment cycles where more than 20 eggs were collected, which is not the same as the number of cases of OHSS.
