title: Ovum donation by sisters in ovarian failure: simplified priming and early withdrawal of exogenous support.
abstract: Two cases of successful pregnancy and delivery by patients with ovarian failure are reported. In both cases ova were donated by the sister of the patient. A high degree of success (two pregnancies in three attempts) is discussed, as is the significance of simplified pretransfer "priming" and very early withdrawal of exogenous hormonal support.
