Simultaneous ectopic pregnancy with intrauterine gestation after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer

A case of combined intrauterine and tubal ectopic pregnancy is described following in vitro fertilization and the transfer of two four-cell and one two-cell embryos. This phenomenon is known to be related to ovarian stimulation by gonadotropin therapy, and there is an increased risk with tubal disease. Techniques applied at the time of embryo transfer, the use of culture medium with 50% fetal cord serum to convey the embryos to the uterus, the catheterization method, and the position of the patient during transfer are presented. The risk of multiple pregnancies and combined intrauterine and ectopic gestations increases with increasing numbers of transfers and large volume of transfer medium. We would therefore recommend that after IVF-ET treatment in women with tubal disease, intensive care should be taken in the early follow-up period to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy. In this case, a viable ongoing intrauterine pregnancy was confirmed after surgery for right ampullary ectopic pregnancy. And a 2925gm male in excellent condition was delivered by cesarean section without complications.
