Pregnancy in three patients with hypergonadotropic ovarian failure.

The authors present three women with early hypergonadotropic ovarian failure. In one patient autoimmune aetiology of the disease was suggested by the co-existing Addison's disease and idiopathic hypothyroidism. In the other two women the causes of hypogonadotropic amenorrhea remained unclear. All three women were delivered of normal children: one after two spontaneous pregnancies and the other two after a pregnancy induced by short-term estrogen therapy.
