B. Rio et al., FULL-TERM PREGNANCY WITH EMBRYOS FROM DONATED OOCYTES IN A 36-YEAR-OLD WOMAN ALLOGRAFTED FOR CHRONIC MYELOID-LEUKEMIA, Bone marrow transplantation, 13(4), 1994, pp. 487-488
We report the first case of full-term pregnancy arising from donated o
ocytes in a 36-year-old woman with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), 6 y
ears after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) following tota
l body irradiation (TBI) (12 Gy) and cyclophosphamide 120 mg/kg. The f
irst attempt at implantation with her own cryopreserved ovocytes was u
nsuccessful. Thereafter, she became pregnant after donated oocyte impl
antation using estradiol and progesterone support replacing the defect
ive ovarian function. The baby was normal. Unfortunately, 6 months lat
er, she relapsed in chronic phase of CML.
