Objective: To report a case of a quintuplet pregnancy following transfer of five poor-quality cellular-stage embryos.
Design: Case report.
Setting: University of Toronto-affiliated infertility clinic.
Patient(s): A 35-year-old female with a 2-year history of secondary infertility.
Intervention(s): Intracytoplasmic sperm injection and embryo transfer.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Clinical pregnancy.
Result(s): Quintuplet implantation with five fetal hearts.
Conclusion(s): Because the transfer of five poor embryos resulted in a quintuplet implantation, we recommend that embryos with significant morphologic abnormalities, especially in younger patients, be considered as viable embryos with implantation potential.

Introduction And Importance: Quintuplet pregnancies are exceptionally rare outcomes of fertility treatments, that is clomiphene citrate therapy. These high-order multiple pregnancies carry significant risks for both maternal and neonatal health, necessitating specialized care to manage complications effectively.
Case Presentation: A 26-year-old woman, gravida three para two, presented with preterm labor at 32 weeks gestation following clomiphene citrate self-medication.

Complete hydatidiform moles (CHMs) and partial hydatidiform moles (PHMs) are abnormal gestations characterized by vesicular chorionic villi accompanied by variable trophoblastic hyperplasia, with or without embryonic development. CHMs are purely androgenetic (only paternal [P] chromosome complements), mostly homozygous/monospermic (~85%) but occasionally heterozygous/dispermic, whereas PHMs are overwhelmingly diandric triploid (2 paternal [P] and 1 maternal [M] chromosome complements) and heterozygous/dispermic (>95%). The presence of a fetus in a molar pregnancy usually indicates a PHM rather than a CHM; however, CHMs and PHMs rarely can be associated with a viable fetus or a nonmolar abortus in twin pregnancies and rare multiple gestation molar pregnancies have been reported.

Introduction And Importance: Quintuplets conceived spontaneously are a rare occurrence. As compared with singleton pregnancies, quintuplets are associated with high rates of obstetric complications and significant prenatal morbidity and mortality. To our knowledge, here we reported the first case of spontaneous quintuplet pregnancy faced by a practicing clinician in an underdeveloped country (Somalia) with a Successful outcome.
