Abstract
In this report, we present an unusual case of a couple who achieved a successful pregnancy by ICSI with a single oocyte collected. The cumulus-oocyte-complex (COC) was retrieved at 36.5 hours post trigger and was found to be at metaphase II when sperm injection was performed at around 39 hours post trigger. At 18 hours post injection, the single oocyte was fertilized, developed to four cell embryo on day 2, and 8 cell grade one on day 3, when it was replaced to the uterine cavity. Pregnancy test gave a positive β-hCG result, the scan performed at seven weeks, revealed the presence of one amniotic sac with fetal heartbeat. Currently, the ongoing pregnancy has been eventless at 24 weeks of gestation.
