OBJETIVO: A case of Turner's syndrome mosaicism who became pregnant with oocyte donation and embryo transfer is presented. SETTING: Ricardo Palma Clinic Assisted Reproduction Center: MATERIAL AD METHODS: 32 year-old patient with Turner's syndrome 45,X/47,XXX/46,XX and primary infertility. The endometrium was prepared for implantation with increasing doses of estradiol valerate 2 to 8 mg/daily, until endometrial thickness was obtained and retrieval day was calculated. Luteal support was with transvaginal micronized progesterone 1200 mg/daily. Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation was done with GnRH analogs and FSHr. Nine eggs were retrieved, 5 used and 3 embryos transferred in the next 48 hours. Currently the patient carried a II trimester twin pregnancy. CONCLUSIONs: In vitro fertilization with oocyte donation is an alternative for infertility in Turner's syndrome. The intrauterine embryo ...

Introduction: Freezing-unfreezing procedures are essential when hyperestimulation is followed by embryo overproduction; they lower costs and increase pregnancy rates per aspiration. Objectives: To present our experience with embryo freezing-unfreezing. Setting: Assisted Reproduction Medical Service and Laboratory, Clinica Ricardo Palma. Design: Clinical retrospective study. Biologic material: Embryos obtained by assisted fertilization. Interventions: Controlled ovarian hyperestimulation with short luteal phase, ova capture at 36 hours post hCG administration, classical in vitro fertilization or ICSI-transport, classical processes of embryo cryopreservation and unfreezing. Main outcome measures: Embryo survival in freezing-unfreezing process. Results: We started our study in October 2003. Number of cycles with frozen embryos during this period was 154; from these we unfroze only 58. Pregn...
