title: Pregnancy following intrafollicular gamete transfer.
abstract: A case of pregnancy following direct intrafollicular gamete transfer is presented. Oocytes, obtained by transvaginal follicular aspiration, were added to a sperm preparation. The oocytes and spermatozoa were then transferred together, under transvaginal ultrasound guidance, into the leading follicle. This is the first report of a pregnancy following this procedure.
