    In Vitro Maturation of Oocytes with Consecutive Clinical Pregnancy after Accidental Premature Ovulation Induction-A Rescue Strategy in ART

    Acta Endo (Buc) 2021 17(1): 106-110 doi: 10.4183/aeb.2021.106

    Abstract
    Background. The implementation of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) is a complex treatment requiring both a good cooperation between various professional groups in the fertility centre, and the patient’s and her partner’s cooperation. Accordingly, there are many sources of failure, such as using the wrong medication or not considering optimal times. If there is an artificial application of the ovulation induction injection, the success of the treatment is endangered and in some cases the cycle is discontinued, if the patient failed to administer the drug correctly. An alternative to cycle cancellation might be the maturation of the oocytes in vitro. We report on a 31-year-old patient in whom we performed an oocyte retrieval procedure 24 hours after triggering ovulation followed by in vitro maturation of the immature oocytes over a period of more than 12 h. The treatment resulted in a healthy, ongoing pregnancy.

    Women and Men with Cancer and a Future Desire for Children - What Should Clinicians Consider in Covid-19 Pandemic Times?

    Acta Endo (Buc) 2021 17(2): 234-240 doi: 10.4183/aeb.2021.234

    Abstract
    The topic of fertility preservation has been gaining increasing importance since the beginning of this century. The reasons for this development are the advances in oncological therapy over the past few decades, with cure rates of approximately over 90%, and the fact that starting families is increasingly postponed in later periods of life in industrialized countries. Since March 2020 the whole medical and non-medical world experiences a pandemic due to Covid-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) which has never been seen before. This created a plenty of challenges for both, the patients and healthcare providers. This review article presents the fertility-protective methods currently available for women and men suffering from cancer with their clinical approach, value, advantages and disadvantages. Besides, it focuses on the changes and special considerations which have to be taken into account during pandemic times including preventive measures as well as the patient`s access to the fertility preserving options. In conclusion every premenopausal woman and every man with incomplete family planning suffering from cancer should be counselled about the existing fertility preserving techniques before commencing cancer therapy.

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

    Acta Endo (Buc) 2023 19(4): 505-507 doi: 10.4183/aeb.2023.505

    Abstract
    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.
