IVF-ET therapy was originally developed as a method for treating patients with absolute mechanical infertility for whom spontaneous conception is almost impossible. OBJECTIVE: To report that the recent IVF-ET is now applied to couples not only untreatable tubal infertility but also peritubal periovarial adhesions, endometriosis, male-related or unexplained infertility. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Case report. RESULT: We experienced 5 Pregnancies after unsuccessful IVF-ET attempt with additional non IVF-ET therapy or without therapy.
