Background: It is uncommon to find ampullary tubal pregnancy in the second trimester.
Methods: A 35-year-old G4P3 at 16 gestational weeks presented with a day history of sudden severe lower abdominal pain and no vaginal bleeding. The patient had a normal pulse of 82/minutes, haemoglobin concentration of 6.3 g/dl and ultrasonography showed an empty uterus with an alive fetus in the right adnexa. She was provisionally diagnosed to have an abdominal pregnancy.
Results: The patient had an emergency laparotomy where 2.2 L of haemoperitoneum and a slow-leaking right ampullary tubal pregnancy were found. Right total salpingectomy was performed and she had an uncomplicated post-operative follow-up. Histology of the lesion confirmed tubal pregnancy.
Conclusion: The growth of a pregnancy in the ampulla beyond the first trimester is possibly due to increased thickness and or distensibility of the fallopian tube. A tubal pregnancy may present with a normal pulse despite significant haemorrhage.

Uterine malformations of the rudimentary horn type affect 2 to 4% of women. Resulting from a defect in the fusion of Muller's ducts, they are responsible for dysmenorrhea and lead to ectopic pregnancies, as well as endometriosis. These implications mean that their removal is recommended in young patients with a potential desire for pregnancy.

Smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates (SERa) are a type of dysmorphism in oocytes derived from controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). The effect of SERa on assisted reproductive techniques (ART) outcomes is debatable. Based on some evidence, SERa-positive (SERa+) oocytes cause complications including newborn demise, and compromise the outcome of the unaffected oocytes of the same cycle.

In the medical literature there are several case reports of physicians who tried to transfer a gestational sac from the fallopian tube to the uterus. In this article, a review of the scientific literature on the subject was conducted and an answer was provided to the question, truth or fiction? Anyone who deals with early pregnancies, understands the complexity of the implantation process during early pregnancy, and that there is no clear anatomical separation plane in early pregnancy, between the decidua and the early placental villi that penetrate it. Several case reports in the medical literature describe a successful transfer of an ectopic pregnancy from the fallopian tube to the uterine cavity.

Objectives: Previous studies suggested that immune factors may play critical roles in female infertility, but their causal links remain unclear. To address this gap, this study employs the Mendelian randomization (MR) to delineate the causal association between circulating immune factors and female infertility.
Methods: This study employed summary-level data from three genome-wide association studies (GWAS) encompassing 731 peripheral immune cell signatures, 41 circulating cytokines, and five female infertility phenotypes to reveal the causal relationship between immune factors and female infertility.
