Sextuplet pregnancy after human menopausal gonadotropin superovulation and intrauterine insemination. A case report.
Sextuplet pregnancy occurred after human menopausal gonadotropin ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination and human chorionic gonadotropin support in the luteal phase. The patient's peak serum estradiol concentration was 861 pg/mL, and ultrasound monitoring demonstrated only one follicle greater than 11 mm in diameter. The possibility of high-order multiple birth exists despite intensive monitoring efforts for this therapy.
