摘要
Objective: To describe two cases of successful pregnancy after a rescue course of hCG in the setting of false empty follicle syndrome. Design: Case report. Setting: Academic medical center. Patient(s): Two patients undergoing ultrasound-guided oocyte retrieval with failure to obtain oocytes during oocyte retrieval. Intervention(s): Rescue course of hCG with second oocyte retrieval 35 hours later. Main Outcome Measure(s): Live birth. Result(s): Two live-birth pregnancies. Conclusion(s): Live-birth pregnancies are a realistic possibility after administration of a rescue course of hCG and repeat oocyte retrieval in the setting of false empty follicle syndrome.
