“…4 The first case of a bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy after IVF-ET was published in 1983, but spontaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy was reported in 1918. 5,6 The likelihood of bilateral tubal pregnancy is not only due to embryos reaching the tubes, but may be because of an additional pathology that prevents their movement back to the uterus. This mechanism may be the result of tubo-peritoneal disease or the embryo itself.…”

“…In literature there were almost 50 cases of bilateral ectopic pregnancy since 1997, and almost 50% of them were reported as spontaneous bilateral ectopic pregnancies [1]. The first case of a bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy after IVF-ET was published in 1983 [6], but spontaneous bilateral tubal pregnancy was reported in 1918 [7]. Three theories have been proposed to explain the origin of a bilateral ectopic pregnancy after IVF.…”

This is a case report of a 33 year-old-woman who underwent in vitro fertilization, because of primary infertility caused by fallopian tube factor. The patient underwent three trials of frozen embryo transfers (ET-CRYO). On the 26 th day after the third probe of ET-CRYO she suffered from pelvic pain and vaginal bleeding. Transvaginal ultrasonographic scan revealed bilateral tubal ectopic pregnancy without fluid in the Douglas pouch and no gestational sac in the uterus. Laparoscopic bilateral salpingectomy was performed on the next day after admission. The postoperative course was uneventful.

The frequency of heterotopic pregnancy is increased, occurring in as many as 2.93 of all IVF pregnancies.…”

We assessed the frequency of abnormal sonographic findings and their significance with respect to outcome in pregnancies resulting from in vitro fertilization (IVF). We retrospectively reviewed first trimester sonograms of 53 consecutive IVF patients who had a positive pregnancy test and first trimester ultrasonography at least 4 weeks after embryo transfer, and we correlated the sonographic findings with pregnancy outcome. For controls, we compared the frequency of sonographic abnormalities in these study patients to that in a group of patients who became pregnant after ovulation induction only. In the 53 IVF patients, the numbers of gestational sacs identified on the initial sonogram were as follows: 34 singletons, 11 twins, two triplets, one quadruplets and one quintuplets; no sac was seen in four patients. In 32 patients, the first sonogram was normal, with a visualized yolk sac, or heartbeat, or both. In 10 patients the gestational sac appeared abnormal but sac contents were normal. In seven patients an abnormality of sac contents was identified, including four with an embryo but no heartbeat and three anembryonic sacs. Overall, 40% of IVF patients had sonographic abnormalities, in comparison to 7% in the control group of patients (P less than 0.05, Fisher's exact test). Of the 32 patients with normal sonograms, 26 (81%) delivered at least one live infant. Of the 10 patients whose gestation sacs appeared abnormal, nine (90%) gave birth to live infants. Of the seven patients with abnormal sac contents, two (29%) delivered at least one live infant. We conclude that abnormal findings are frequently present on the initial sonogram of pregnant patients after IVF.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Bilateral tubal pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer

Abstract: A case of bilateral tubal pregnancy resulting from in vitro fertilization and the transfer of two embryos is reported. Because the husband had retrograde ejaculation after surgical treatment of a malignant testicular tumour, cryopreserved semen was used.
