The woman then went to a reproductive specialist and was started on medication to stimulate ovulation. Four months later she was diagnosed with a triplet pregnancy. At 24 weeks' gestation the patient was admitted to a hospital in preterm labor and subsequently delivered very premature infants.

Later, one of the children died from unrelated causes before this case concluded.
