Ovarian pregnancy is a rare form of extrauterine ectopic pregnancy. Risk factors such as reproductive treatments and infertility have been identified in recent studies. In this article, we present a case of ovarian ectopic pregnancy occurring following in vitro fertilization treatment and a fresh embryo transfer. The diagnosis of ovarian pregnancy was made during transvaginal sonography performed due to suspected ectopic pregnancy. Ovarian ectopic pregnancy is a rare clinical phenomenon. Late diagnosis and lack of appropriate intervention may have catastrophic results. Several mechanisms and risk factors are proposed, and their acknowledgment may improve early diagnosis and prevention of complications.

Abstract Nonsteroidal biochemical markers of oocyte maturity could presumably aid in oocyte selection and in the timing of insemination for in vitro fertilization. We assessed the usefulness of six potential markers found in follicular fluid. We used kinetic immunonephelometry to measure concentrations of alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, antithrombin III, ceruloplasmin, fibrinogen, and plasminogen in 53 fluids and the corresponding plasma from 20 women undergoing in vitro fertilization. Specimens were obtained from both mature and immature follicles from each woman. The respective protein concentrations in follicular fluid could be assayed with a between-assay CV of 1.5% to 3.2%. Analytical-recovery studies indicated that only fibrinogen and antithrombin III concentrations were altered (by 120% and 75%, respectively) during aspiration of the follicle into saline. All protein concentrations were significantly increased in mature follicles, as were the follicular fluid:plasma concentration ratios for alpha 1-antitrypsin, antithrombin III, and ceruloplasmin.
