OBJECTIVE To report the detection of pyometra after ovum retrieval for IVF with the routine use of ultrasound-guided embryo transfer. METHODS Case report. METHODS Tertiary fertility center. METHODS A 29-year-old woman who developed pyometra after ovum retrieval for IVF detected at the time of ultrasound-guided embryo transfer. METHODS Cancellation of the embryo transfer, cryopreservation of the embryos, treatment of the pyometra, and a successful frozen-embryo transfer. METHODS Normal uterine cavity after treatment and a delivered twin pregnancy. RESULTS A successful delivered twin pregnancy. CONCLUSIONS Routine use of ultrasound-guided embryo transfer resulted in the rescue of the patient's embryos for cryopreservation, with a resulting ongoing pregnancy.
