Abstract

A 38-year-old nulliparous woman suffering from premature menopause was stimulated with oestradiol valerate in order to create an artificial endometrial cycle. Three oocytes were donated by a woman on an in vitro fertilisation cycle and were inseminated with the patient's husband's sperm. These were then transferred into the patient's uterus after the endometrium had been primed with progesterone to change it to the secretory phase. Pregnancy resulted and proceeded well. Gestation was terminated at the 34th week by caesarean section and 2 healthy boys and 1 girl were delivered.
