Dear Sir,

The advent of prolonged in-vitro preimplantation embryo cultureusing sequential culture media (Gardner et al., 1998) has permittedmany IVF laboratories to successfully adopt blastocyst transfer.Unfortunately, an unexpected side effect of this success hasseen a small but significant appearance of monozygotic twinning.This has now been described by several authors (Peramo et al.,1999; Behr et al., 2000; Van Langendonckt et al., 2000; da Costaet al., 2001; Sheiner . . .
