Spontaneous pregnancy and live birth by a patient with premature ovarian failure : a case report

Abstract EN

Premature ovarian failure (POF) or premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is the loss of ovarian function before the age of 40.

It is a very stressful condition as it has a critical impact on a patient's fertility potential.

around 5-10% of women with POI may have a spontaneous pregnancy, but many may require multiple attempts at in vitro fertilization (IVF) to achieve a successful pregnancy.

nevertheless, the only effective treatment approach to achieve pregnancy resides in oocyte donation for these women.

we present a case of spontaneous pregnancy in a woman diagnosed with premature ovarian failure.

the outcome of the pregnancy was a healthy term baby delivered vaginally.
