Abstract
A ruptured primary ovarian pregnancy occurred following ovulation induction, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and embryo transfer (ET). The exact mechanism of ovarian pregnancy after intracytoplasmic sperm injection is unclear, but, it is possible that there may be an association between blastocyst transfer and ovarian pregnancy in infertile patients who underwent ICSI, prolonged in vitro culture and fifth day embryo transfer at blastocyst stage.
