Successful Pregnancy in a Poor Responder: Natural In Vitro Fertilization, Menopause Treatment With Oral Contraceptives, and Anti-Müllerian Hormone as a Predictor

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.

Abstract

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.
