  This unique study shows favorable outcomes to embryos developed from eggs retrieved following luteal phase stimulation and the children born from these eggs. A 40-year-old woman with a 10-year history of primary infertility was given hMG 150IU and letrozole 2.5 mg from cycle day 3 onwards. Her cycle transitioned into the luteal phase beginning on cycle day 10 as indicated by high serum progesterone levels. Follicle growth continued with hMG stimulation. GnRH agonist was given for the final stage of oocyte maturation. During collection, four mature oocytes were obtained and two top-quality embryos were vitrified for cryopreservation. Two months later, the two embryos were thawed and transferred during a natural cycle, creating a twin pregnancy and a favorable delivery. Three-year follow up showed that physical and psychomotor development of the twin babies were in the normal ran.. View More»
