چکیده
OBJECTIVE To describe a case of monozygotic triplet pregnancy following egg donation and the transfer of a single frozen-thawed embryo. DESIGN Case report. SETTING District general hospital and regional department of fetal medicine in northeast England. PATIENT(S) A 38-year-old woman with a 2-year history of primary infertility due to severe endometriosis and poor ovarian reserve who conceived after egg donation and transfer of a single frozen-thawed embryo. INTERVENTION(S) Transfer of a single frozen-thawed embryo and delivery of three identical female infants by emergency caesarean section because of preterm labor at 32 weeks' gestation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S) Review of effect of assisted conception on monozygotic twinning rates. RESULT(S) Healthy outcome for all three infants. CONCLUSION(S) Assisted reproductive treatments may lead to disturbances in zona pellucida architecture and an increase in monozygotic twinning rates. Couples need to be informed of this and the increased risks associated with these pregnancies before they begin with treatment.

BACKGROUND We describe two cases of dichorionic triplet pregnancy after a frozen-thawed poor-stage embryo transfer. A 39-year-old and a 41-year-old woman underwent ART treatment. The first patient underwent intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) at 34 years of age, and two frozen-thawed poor-stage embryos were transferred at 39 years of age with assisted hatching, resulting in a trichorionic t...

I-29: Luteal Phase Support in Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer Cycle
Cumulative pregnancy rate has been significantly increased since frozen-thawed embryo transfer was applied in ART cycles. This method has become an essential part of IVF/ICSI treatment. Luteal phase support has been proven to be associated with higher rate of live birth rate. Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and progestrone have been successfully used for luteal phase support in ovarian stim...
