- Abstract
As the demand for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) increases, infertility treatments are increasingly being sought by patients with serious health problems that were once regarded as leading to infertility. Moreover, since pregnancy may worsen their underlying health conditions, these women have been advised to remain infertile. We describe here a liver transplant recipient who underwent ART for male factor infertility. Assisted fertilization was achieved using intracytoplasmic sperm injection, and she conceived after embryo transfer. Her pregnancy follow up was unremarkable until she delivered a healthy boy pretermly at 31 and half weeks.
