Abstract:
In a 32 year old patient 14 eggs were harvested and inseminated with donor semen. Six embryos were transferred resulting in a triplet-pregnancy. In spite of a septic disease three preterm but healthy children were born by caesarean section 199 days after ET (male 1620.0; female 1180.0; male 1560.0). Up to nowadays there is not any handicap. We don't know a general but safe method for avoiding multiple pregnancies.

Meiosis II
Meiosis II is the second and final stage of meiosis. It relies on the haploid cells produced during meiosis I, each of which contain only 23 chromosomes—one from each homologous initial pair. Importantly, each chromosome in these cells is composed of two joined copies, and when these cells enter meiosis II, the goal is to separate such sister chromatids using the same microtubule-based network employed in other division processes. The result of meiosis II is two haploid cells, each containing...
In Vitro Fertilization
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...
