Popis:	To describe the methodology used to induce ovulation in a 41-year-old woman with imminent ovarian failure and tubal factor so that in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) could be performed.Ethinyl estradiol was used to suppress elevated serum follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) levels, thus theoretically allowing restoration of down-regulated FSH receptors and response to endogenous gonadotropins.One oocyte was retrieved and fertilized and one embryo was transferred. The patient conceived and is presently in her last trimester.Successful pregnancy following IVF-ET is possible in women with imminent ovarian failure - even in women older than age 40.
