Ovulation and successful pregnancy in a woman with ovarian failure after hypophysectomy and gonadotropin therapy.

Abstract
A 38-year-old woman ovulated and conceived after administration of human menopausal gonadotropins despite a previous diagnosis of ovarian failure at age 18. Possible explanations include restoration of down-regulated gonadotropin receptors by development of a prolactinoma, spontaneous remission of autoimmune oophoritis, or prior tumor secretion of biologically inert gonadotropins.
