Abstract

The first pregnancy following in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and the subsequent transfer to the surrogate was reported in 1985. Afterward, IVF-surrogacy became a viable reproductive alternative for couples who would otherwise be unable to produce a genetic child. We have experienced a case of successful surrogate pregnancy in patient with congenital absence of vagina (Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome). After oocyte retrieval through the neovagina, the embryo transfer was performed to a surrogate gestational mother. Two male babies (2,790 gm, 2020 gm) were delivered at 36+3 weeks of gestation.

Key Words: Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome, IVF-ET, Surrogate pregnancy
