A case of successful pregnancy in an in-vitro fertilization cycle, in spite of an accidental exposure to daily long-acting gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue administration, is reported. The patient underwent two intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles with thawed epididymal spermatozoa, in which, due to a pharmacist's mistake, ovarian stimulation was carried out by a combination of long-acting gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (leuprolide depot) and gonadotrophins. A successful singleton pregnancy was achieved after intrauterine embryo transfer with the birth of a healthy boy after 38 weeks. We describe the circumstances and results of this clinical case, as well as reviewing the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
