Introduction:
As changes in lifestyles and living environments, infertility is increasing globally and affecting 8-12% of couples worldwide. At the same time, there has been an increase demand for assisted reproductive technologies (ART).
Case Description: A 36 -year-old gravida 4 Parity 0+3 lady was referred to hospital. Her previous 3 consecutive pregnancies received by intrauterine inseminations ended in first trimester miscarriages. Current pregnancy was received by invitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. Nine days after treatment, her urine pregnancy test was positive.

Her serial serum β hCG rising was suboptimal and it was diagnosed as an ectopic pregnancy. As she was asymptomatic and her vital signs were stable, injection methotrexate was given. Follow-ups after treatment, serum β hCG returned to normal.
Discussion: Ectopic pregnancy is a well-known complication following invitro fertilization (IVF).
