Fertility, pregnancy, and medical management of Turner syndrome in the reproductive years.

Turner syndrome results in infertility in most cases. Fertility preservation through the cryopreservation of oocytes or ovarian tissue may be an option for some girls with Turner syndrome. Oocyte donation results in high pregnancy rates (PR).

Catastrophic consequences of assisted reproduction: the case of Turner syndrome.

Women with Turner syndrome are generally infertile due to premature ovarian failure. Few may achieve a spontaneous pregnancy, and others may conceive through assisted reproductive technologies including oocyte donation. These pregnancies are high risk due to the medical conditions associated with Turner syndrome.

Risk of death in pregnancy achieved through oocyte donation in patients with Turner syndrome: a national survey.

Unlabelled: To determine the risk of death in pregnant women with Turner syndrome who were treated with oocyte donation, and to ascertain the prevalence of preconception cardiac screening in these patients.

Design: Survey and literature review.

Setting: Academic infertility center.
