The study focuses on spontaneous conception after menopause in a woman with primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), with an emphasis on the role of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) in fertility management. This case involves a 33-year-old woman with POI who has experienced both aided and spontaneous pregnancies. She had low AMH and high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, which typically indicate a limited ovarian reserve. Despite several unsuccessful in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts, she ultimately conceived using a modified natural cycle (MNC). Later, while on oral contraception and nearing menopause, she conceived spontaneously, resulting in a viable pregnancy. This case highlights the unpredictability of POI, the relevance of AMH as a biomarker of ovarian reserve, and the potential for spontaneous conception even after menopause, emphasizing the need for individualized reproductive treatments in managing POI patients.
该研究聚焦于一名原发性卵巢功能不全(POI)女性绝经后的自然受孕情况,重点关注抗苗勒管激素(AMH)在生育管理中的作用。此病例涉及一名33岁患有POI的女性,她既有辅助妊娠经历,也有自然妊娠经历。她的AMH水平较低,促卵泡生成素(FSH)水平较高,这通常表明卵巢储备有限。尽管多次体外受精(IVF)尝试均未成功,但她最终采用改良自然周期(MNC)成功受孕。后来,在服用口服避孕药且接近绝经时,她自然受孕并成功妊娠。该病例凸显了POI的不可预测性、AMH作为卵巢储备生物标志物的相关性,以及即使绝经后仍有自然受孕的可能性,强调了在管理POI患者时进行个体化生殖治疗的必要性。
