Simultaneous ectopic pregnancy with intrauterine twin gestations after in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer.

A simultaneous ectopic tubal pregnancy with viable intrauterine twin gestations after IVF-ET of five fertilized eggs is presented. Pelvic ultrasound and serial quantitative hCG levels were not helpful in the diagnosis of the tubal pregnancy. The risk of multiple pregnancies and of concomitant intrauterine and extrauterine gestations increases with transfer of a greater number of embryos. Karyotype of the tubal pregnancy was normal (46,XX).
