Successful pregnancy in a woman with premature ovarian failure.
A case of a patient with premature ovarian failure (POF) is discussed. Ovulation failed to occur for 5 years by gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) treatment following estrogen-progesterone replacement therapy. After laparoscopic ovarian biopsy, ovulation was successfully induced by hMG, although gonadotropins were not suppressed enough, and the patient achieved pregnancy.
