This affection is frequently misdiagnosed ovarian failure and patients are referred to egg donation to treat their infertility. Because these patients notably have an age-compatible number of antral follicles, we hypothesized that in vitro maturation (IVM) of oocytes might constitute a useful approach for treating their infertility.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Objective:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We report the first pregnancy and live birth obtained after IVM of oocytes in a 29-year-old patient suffering from ovarian resistance to FSH.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This is a case report.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Setting:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The work was conducted in a university hospital.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Patient:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Whereas serum FSH (40.3 and 38.4 mIU\/mL) and LH (35.7 and 31.7 mIU\/mL) levels were repeatedly around the menopausal range, serum anti-M\u00fcllerian hormone (4.50 and 4.36 ng\/mL) levels and total counting of antral follicles (23 and 18 follicles) remained normal.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Intervention:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We aspirated antral-stage follicles and subsequently matured the oocytes in vitro.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Main Outcome Measure:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We assessed the competence of oocytes retrieved in a patient suffering from ovarian resistance to FSH.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Aspiration of antral-stage follicles allowed the retrieval of 15 immature oocytes.
