A Case of Pre-Existing Pregnancy During an <i>In-Vitro</i> Fertilization Cycle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Serum progesterone levels performed prior to oocyte pick-up is commonly used to guide embryo transfer in in-vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, as elevated levels can negatively influence pregnancy outcomes. However, levels associated with normal pregnancies should trigger clinicians to consider alternative causes such as a pre-existing pregnancy. We report a case of a 37-year-old patient who underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist cycle while having an undetected early pregnancy. No oocytes were retrieved at oocyte retrieval despite adequate follicular responses. Her serum progesterone level on the day of her trigger injection was 57.8 nmol/L. She was found to have a pregnancy of unknown location, detected 3 weeks after her oocyte retrieval and was subsequently treated with systemic methotrexate.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
