Successful live birth following a short course of glucocorticoid suppression in a patient with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2 and premature ovarian insufficiency: A case report

Abstract

A 32‐year‐old nulliparous woman with premature ovarian insufficiency POI and autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2 (APS‐2), presented to our fertility center with a 2.5‐year history of amenorrhoea. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH), with high dose gonadotropins, failed to promote antral follicle growth. The patient was given a short, 4‐week course of 2 mg dexamethasone prior to a repeat COH cycle, which resulted in the retrieval of good oocyte numbers and eventual live birth from a thawed embryo transfer.
