Live Birth after Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation (COH) by Luteinizing Hormone Free During IVF/ET Cycle in a Congenital Panhypopituitarism Woman

Introduction: To report a live birth in women with panhypopituitarism who received Growth Hormone (GH) and low dose human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) with Follicle Stimulation Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) resulted in shorter stimulation days. Keywords: Controlled Ovarian Hyperstimulation (COH); Luteinizing hormone; IVF/ET; Congenital panhypopituitarism woman; HCG A 29-year-old woman with panhypopituitarism underwent novel ovulation induction with rFSH, growth hormone and low dose hCG achieving live birth. Lower costs and shorter stimulation days were observed compared with prior attempt at another medical center. Conclusion: Ovulation induction in women with panhypopituitarism requires both Follicle Stimulation Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) to achieve optimal follicular growth. Supplementation with GH and low dose hCG can shorten stimulation days at a much lower cost and subsequently a successfully live birth.
