[Multiple pregnancy following in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer].

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.
