- Abstract
Although a higher incidence of ectopic pregnancy has been reported after in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer, three ectopic pregnancies in the same woman is very rare. A patient of 32 years underwent IVF-embryo transfer six times within 3 years. Three of four conceptions resulted in ectopic pregnancies. The first involved simultaneous intrauterine and left tubal pregnancy, the second was a right tubal pregnancy, and the third was a right interstitial pregnancy. In IVF-embryo transfer, bilateral salpingectomy does not remove the risk of interstitial or cornual pregnancy.
