Patients who are candidate for receiving this method have confronted following questions: -Is there the rate of ectopic pregnancy and multiple pregnancy more than in this method in comparison with natural method? -Is there any relationship between maternal age, cause of infertility and number of transferred embryo to arising of this problem? Objective: Investigation the association between age, causes of infertility, number of transferred embryo with ectopic pregnancy and multiple pregnancy in infertile couples under Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) treatment in Kosar infertility center of Urmia. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study the pregnant women due to ICSI who referred to kosar infertility center were selected during 2003-2007.The studied variable consisted of: age of mother, cause of infertility, number of transferred embryos, ectopic and multiple pregnancy and were gathered from their files and contact with them.

The prevalence rate of EP was 3.6%, twins’ pregnancy was 26.9% and triple or more pregnancy was 6/5%. There was a significant relationship between age and EP (p=0.02), but there was no relationship between cause of infertility and number of transferred embryo with EP. There was no relationship between the accession of multiple pregnancy and maternal age. There was a statistically significant difference between number of transferred embryo and multiple pregnancy. (p= 0.03) Conclusion: Maternal age can influence on rate of EP, but not on multiple pregnancy. The cause of infertility and the number of transferred embryo didn’t effect on EP but it can increase the prevalence of multiple pregnancy.
