A case of a patient with premature ovarian failure (POF) is discussed. Ovulation failed to occur for 5 years by gonadotropin‐releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) and human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) treatment following estrogen‐progesterone replacement therapy. After laparoscopic ovarian biopsy, ovulation was successfully induced by hMG, although gonadotropins were not suppressed enough, and the patient achieved pregnancy.
