Triplet pregnancy following oocyte donation to a functionally agonadal woman.
Reported is the first triplet gestation following oocyte donation to an agonadal woman. The transfer of five ova resulted in implantation of all five, with continued embryonic development in three. Pregnancy support was provided by exogenously administered oral E2 and intramuscular P for 100 days, at which time placental hormone production solely maintained the gestations.
