Description
Summary:Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) or Diminished Ovarian Reserve (DOR) are the two conditions that affects women leading to infertility due to the lack of follicular growth and ovulation. Egg / Oocyte donation remains an option for these patients. However, with the development in Reproductive medicine various novel technologies like Ovarian Cryopreservation, Fragmentation, in vitro activation with drug treatment or even drug free autotransplantation enables the possibility of activating the pool of primordial follicles that can lead to successful pregnancy outcomes. Here, we report a case of women with POI, in which drug free in vitro activation of follicles was performed, followed by autotransplantation, which resulted in successful pregnancy. This is first case report from India that shows the procedure works and can be tried for women with POI.
