Ovarian response to exogenous gonadotropins during pregnancy.
Multiple ovarian follicles were successfully induced in a patient undergoing superovulation for a gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) procedure despite the presence of an undiagnosed ectopic pregnancy. Midluteal gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment should be coupled with mechanical contraception in the previous cycle in patients with patent tubes.
