Successful Pregnancy Following Ovarian Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment, the DuoStim Protocol, and Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy in a Patient With Premature Ovarian Insufficiency: A Case Report
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) severely limits reproductive options. We report a successful live birth in a patient with POI following a combined approach of intraovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment, double ovarian stimulation (DuoStim protocol), and preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A). PRP treatment was performed to restore ovarian function, after which DuoStim was used to maximize oocyte yield. An embryo obtained underwent PGT-A, and transfer of a euploid blastocyst resulted in an uncomplicated pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child. This case highlights the potential of personalized and multidisciplinary strategies to overcome the traditional barriers in POI by integrating regenerative medicine (PRP), advanced ovarian stimulation (DuoStim), and genetic embryo selection (PGT-A). While this innovative approach appears promising for women with diminished ovarian reserve, further studies are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
