Abstract: Any gender with a single gonad can suffer from infertility due to various reasons. A married couple with single gonads: a 34-year-old male with single testis following orchidectomy and a 31-year-old female with single ovary following unilateral ovariotomy presented for infertility management. The female partner had a low ovarian reserve, and the male partner’s semen analysis was low rapidly progressive motility. They could not achieve pregnancy naturally for two years. The female partner was treated with tablet Dehydro-Epiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEA), with three cycles of ovulation induction and timed intercourse and later three cycles of intrauterine insemination (IUI). The first cycle of IUI resulted in a biochemical pregnancy. She had spontaneous conception during the cycle of downregulation for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) with an injection of leuprolide on day 21. She delivered a live child of 2.7 kg without any anomalies, and the milestones were normal.
