[Pregnancy and hormone replacement therapy in a patient with resistant ovary syndrome]

Abstract

We report on the case of a 32-year-old woman with "resistant ovary syndrome". The patient received hormone replacement therapy sequentially with 2 mg estradiol valerate and 2 mg estradiol valerate/0.15 mg levonorgestrel (Klimonorm, Jenapharm, Germany) respectively, because of secondary amenorrhea and premature menopause. Under this therapy she conceived and had a delivery at term following an inconspicuous pregnancy. The case report emphasizes the rare but possible spontaneous remission of "resistant ovary syndrome" as a variant of premature menopause and is discussed in terms of the literature.
