in vitro fertilization
an elevated white blood cells count
leukocytosis
when the endometrium does not develop appropriately in the luteal phase of the endometrial cycle as a result of reduced progesterone production

obesity
infrequent or light menstrual periods
oligomenorrhea
scant or decreased urine output
oliguria
the removal of oocytes from ovarian follicles by aspiration
oocyte retrieval
a syndrome resulting from hyper stimulation of the ovaries by fertility drugs ; results in development of multiple enlarge follicular ovarian cysts

an illness resulting from another disease, trauma, or injury
sequela
sonographic finding that is described as the presence of 10 fr more small cysts measuring 2 to 18 mm along the periphery of the ovary
“String of pearls” sign
functional ovarian cysts that are found in the presenceof elevated levels of HCG ; also referred to as theca luteal cyst
theca lutein cysts
the formation of clot within a blood vessel with the potential to travel to a distant site and cause occlusion
thromboembolism
a permanent form of female sterilization in which the FT are severed
tubal ligation
a pelvic abscess involving FT and OV that is often cause by pelvic inflammatory disease
tube-ovarian abscess
when adhesions develop within pelvis that leads to fusion of ovaries and dilated tubes as a result PID
