Abstract

The authors presented a case report of a woman who suffered from primary infertility due to anovulation. She was
diagnosed to have polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and was treated by ovarian stimulation with conventional technique,
such as clomiphene citrate alone, the combination of clomiphene citrate and metformin and the combination of clomiphene
citrate with gonadotropins. Nevertheless all of them resulted in no response. Therefore, in vitro maturation of oocyte (IVM)
was started and followed by intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) of 22 oocytes. 14 embryos developed and three of them
were transferred back to the uterine cavity. She conceived and the ultrasonography revealed twin pregnancy at the 8-weeks
gestation. She gave birth at the 31 weeksั gestation in Siriraj Hospital. The newborns were admitted in the hospital for 24 days
for phototherapy in treating jaundice which was due to prematurity. Then both of them were discharged healthily.
