The antepartum risk of VTE after IVF is doubled, compared with the background pregnant population, and is in turn related to a very high risk of VTE after OHSS in the first trimester. We recommend that IVF patients with OHSS be prescribed low-molecular-weight heparin during the first trimester, whereas other IVF patients should be given thromboprophylaxis based on the same risk factors as other pregnant women.
