Abstract
IVF-ET involves laparoscopic or ultrasonographically guided follicular retrieval, in vitro fertilization of the retrieved ova, and placement of the embryo or embryos into the endometrial canal. The resulting pr egnancies are associated with higher ectopic and heterotopic rates com pared with natural pregnancies.(1) We present a rare case of unrupture d heterotopic pregnancies, i.e., unilateral Live twin ectopic pregnanc ies and simultaneous live triplet intrauterine pregnancies, in an TVF- ET patient.
