Abstract：
OBJECTIVE:To describe an unusual case of a sextuplet gestation after IVF and transfer of a single blastocyst. DESIGN:Case report. SETTING:University-based IVF clinic. PATIENT(S):A 32-year-old female with secondary infertility undergoing IVF-ET. INTERVENTION(S):Transvaginal oocyte retrieval, transfer of a single blastocyst, and multifetal pregnancy reduction. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Ultrasound determination of pregnancy viability. RESULT(S):Six intrauterine gestational sacs, each with a fetus having cardiac activity, reduced to a triplet gestation. CONCLUSION(S):Physicians should consider advising patients undergoing IVF-ET to abstain from unprotected intercourse at least 4 days before the anticipated oocyte retrieval. Incomplete aspiration of ovarian follicles is uncommon but not rare and can lead to a higher order multiple pregnancy if recent unprotected intercourse has occurred in this setting.
