Pregnancy co-treated with oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist in a woman with premature ovarian insufficiency: a case report.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of pregnancy with a healthy baby after treatment with an oral gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist in women with premature ovarian insufficiency. A 36-year-old female presented at our hospital after being diagnosed with premature ovarian insufficiency by a previous doctor. We administered clomiphene, human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG), and GnRH antagonist (injection) together with estrogen replacement for 11 cycles (27 months), but no follicular development was observed. When the oral GnRH antagonist (relugolix), which has recently become available, was used in the 12 cycle, follicular growth of 13 mm was confirmed on the 14 day of stimulation. After stimulation, the use of hMG and GnRH antagonist (injection) was continued, and a maturation trigger, human chorionic gonadotropin 10000 IU, was administered. Oocyte retrieval was performed successfully, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and frozen embryo transfer were performed, and fetal heartbeat was confirmed. The patient was admitted to the perinatal management facility. She delivered a healthy baby of 3,732 g via cesarean section at 41 weeks +2. This case shows the possibility of using an oral GnRH antagonist as an option for infertility treatment.
