Successful Twin Live Birth Following ICSI in Premature Ovarian Failure

Successful Twin Live Birth Following ICSI in Premature Ovarian Failure

After 3 years of primary infertility and multiple failed ovulation induction cycles, the couple came to us facing both female and male factor infertility challenges. At 30 years of age, the patient had premature ovarian failure with severely diminished ovarian reserve and diabetes mellitus, while the male partner was diagnosed with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT). With individualized IVF-ICSI treatment, advanced embryology support, and carefully planned embryo transfer, the couple successfully achieved a twin pregnancy and healthy live birth.

The Barriers They Faced

Premature Ovarian Failure

AMH of 0.4 ng/mL and AFC of 3–4 indicated severely diminished ovarian reserve.

Diabetes Mellitus

The patient required careful metabolic and cycle management during fertility treatment.

Male Factor Infertility

The male partner was diagnosed with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT), affecting fertilization potential.

Previous Failed Treatments

The couple had already undergone three unsuccessful ovulation induction cycles.

Poor Prognosis Fertility Profile

Combined male and female infertility factors increased treatment complexity.

Doctor's Quote

Doctor
“The key was to tailor every aspect of care to this patient's unique needs, balancing safety, comfort, and clinical effectiveness.”
Dr. Navina Singh

The Treatment Plan that made the Difference

IVF-ICSI Self-Cycle Planning

An IVF-ICSI self-cycle was initiated as the patient’s first IVF treatment cycle.

Oocyte Retrieval & ICSI

A total of 6 oocytes were retrieved, including 5 mature (MII) oocytes. ICSI was successfully performed using a fresh semen sample.

Blastocyst Development

Embryo culture resulted in four blastocysts, including: One high-quality 5AA blastocyst One 4BB blastocyst

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

The first frozen embryo transfer cycle was planned with a double embryo transfer approach. Two blastocysts — 5AA and 4BB — were successfully transferred.

A Story of Individualized IVF Care in Poor Prognosis Fertility

This case demonstrates that successful live birth outcomes are possible even in premature ovarian failure cases complicated by diabetes mellitus and male factor infertility. It also highlights the importance of individualized IVF-ICSI planning, metabolic management, and advanced embryology support in improving outcomes in poor prognosis fertility cases. With personalized treatment strategies and high-quality embryology practices, even complex fertility cases can achieve successful twin live birth outcomes.
Outcome Background

The Outcome

Serum β-hCG levels of 1394.5 mIU/mL confirmed pregnancy.

The couple achieved a twin pregnancy and successfully delivered one healthy male child and one healthy female child.

Every journey is unique. With science and empathy, parenthood is possible.
