A37-year-old nulliparous woman was referred to our institution for infertility of 1 year’s duration. After menarche at 12 years of age, her menses were regular every 28 days until 18 months before presentation. Two years earlier, she underwent uterine artery embolization for uterine leiomyomas, and 6 months later, her menses became irregular, occurring every 2 to 3 months. She was healthy otherwise, did not take any medication, and had never experienced any surgery. Her mother experienced menopause at the age of 54 years, and her 41-year-old sister was still menstruating regularly. Physical examination revealed a healthy woman with a leiomyoma uterus of 13 gestational weeks. Before uterine artery embolization, the uterus was reported to be 16 gestational weeks, and the largest myoma was intramural and 7 cm in diameter. The indication for uterine artery embolization was stated to be “pressure symptoms.” A transvaginal ultrasound examination demonstrated uterine myomata with the largest myoma of 4 cm in diameter. The antral follicle count was 4 (expected number is 6 to 10). A sonohysterogram showed that the uterine cavity was not deformed and was devoid of any myoma. The serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the early follicular phase (day 3 of the cycle) was 20 milli–international units/mL (expected range for premenopausal woman is less than 10 milli–international units/mL). This was repeated in the subsequent cycle and was still increased at 19 milli–international units/mL. Because of the low antral follicle count and increased basal FSH level, the patient was treated with in vitro fertilization (IVF). She required a large number of gonadotropin injections and produced two dominant follicles. Of two oocytes, one embryo developed and was transferred into the uterine cavity. She did not conceive.
