The first frozen embryo donation pregnancy for hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism in Singapore--hormonal profile and obstetric outcome.
This is the first report in South East Asia of a singleton frozen embryo donation pregnancy for hypergonadotrophic hypogonadism. The hormonal profile was compared with that of a control group of normal uncomplicated singleton pregnancies in Singapore. The plasma beta hCG levels were lower compared to those of our normal uncomplicated singleton pregnancies at 2 to 3 weeks after the embryo transfer but became comparable at 4 to 5 weeks after embryo transfer. The successful vaginal delivery and the obstetric complications developed in this case are discussed.
