A 40-year-old patient referred to the physician because of heavy and prolonged menses caused by a large uterine myoma and primary infertility for 10 years. ßhCG test and ultrasound of the patient were negative in terms of pregnancy, and she underwent myomectomy surgery while the patient was in the early stages of pregnancy (window period). Therefore, the patient was under close care during pregnancy. With continuous follow-up, the newborn was born without any problems at 37 weeks.
