Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is a rarely seen medical condition arising
from absence or decrease of hypothalamic pituitary function . Hormone plasma
concentrations are either can not be determined or are at very low rates. Uterus
didelphys is a congenital uterine about medial fusion defects of mullerian ducts.
A 22-year-old female patient applied to our clinic due to premier infertility. The
diagnosis of uterus didelphys was confirmed as a result of hysterosalpingogra-
phy.Recombinant FSH was started on ovulation induction. In the transvaginal
ultrasonography performed 3 weeks later, 2 gestational sacs and fetal heartbeats
in both cavities were observed.After cesarean operation ,strassmann procedure
