Spontaneous Conception after Cycle Programming with Drospirenone – A New Option for Fertility Treatments

Acta Endo (Buc) 2023, 19 (4): 505-507

More and more couples are postponing their desire to have children until later periods in life. This is accompanied by a variety of both, medical and social problems. It is known that fertility in women begins to decline gradually from the age of 25 and decreases rapidly from the age of 35. On the other hand, many couples in the fourth decade of life are significantly involved in their careers and are sometimes even physically separated. This means that the probability of conception is inherently reduced, because sexual intercourse cannot take place regularly on fertile days. We report on a 35-year-old patient in whom we programmed the cycle with the progestin pill drospirenone, which resulted in a spontaneous conception and the birth of a healthy child.

Keywords: cycle programming, intercourse at the optimal time, fertility, progestins.
