Abstract
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.
