Abstract
We report a case of activated protein C (APC) resistance and deep calf vein thrombosis under controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization . The thrombosis occured before administration of human chorionic gonadotro phin for ovulation induction on the 8th day of hMG (human menopausal gonado trophin). The patient was stimulated according to the long luteal protocol. Cases of arterial and venous thrombosis as a result of ovarian stimulation s are reviewed.
