We report a case of a woman with ectopic pregnancy with fetal cardiac activity after ovulation induction and transvaginal intratubal insemination by tactile sensation. The patient was successfully treated by single-dose methotrexate (MTX) (77 mg or 50 mg/m2 given intramuscularly). Control hysterosalpingograms showed no tubal patency on the involved side. Potential advantages and hazards of transvaginal intratubal insemination and single-dose MTX for ectopic pregnancy are discussed.
