Women with primary ovarian insufficiency rarely ovulate and even more rarely achieve a spontaneous pregnancy. A patient with primary ovarian insufficiency who had only 13 follicle development cycles during 13 years, but had 2 live births resulting from intrauterine inseminations is reported. She was diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency at 19 years of age and started infertility treatment at 23 years of age. During 10 of the 13 years that she was not pregnant and not breastfeeding, she underwent cyclic estrogen and progestin therapy with biweekly monitoring of follicle development. She delivered the first and second child at 30 and 37 years of age, respectively. This case report suggests that continuous follicle monitoring may increase the probability of having a child in a subset of patients with primary ovarian insufficiency and desired fertility, although the validity and efficacy of such management has not been established.
原发性卵巢功能不全的女性很少排卵,甚至更罕见自然妊娠。本文报道了 1 例原发性卵巢功能不全患者,13 年来仅进行了 13 个卵泡发育周期,但通过宫腔内人工授精获得了 2 次活产。该患者 19 岁时被诊断为原发性卵巢功能不全,23 岁开始进行不孕治疗。在未怀孕和未哺乳的 13 年中的 10 年中,她接受了周期性雌激素和孕激素治疗,并每两周监测卵泡发育情况。她分别于 30 岁和 37 岁时生下了第一个和第二个孩子。本病例报告提示,尽管这种治疗方法的有效性和疗效尚未得到证实,但持续的卵泡监测可能会增加有生育需求的部分原发性卵巢功能不全患者妊娠的可能性。
