Abstract
A case of Sheehan's syndrome presented with secondary amenorrhea and was put on L-thyroxine, prednisolone and cyclical estrogen and progestin. Ovulation induction with gonadotrophins and intrauterine insemination with husband's semen resulted in a twin pregnancy. Antepartum course was complicated by bronchial asthma, gestational diabetes and pregnancy-induced hypertension. Cesarian section was done at 34 weeks gestation for preterm rupture of membranes and breech presentation. Both babies and their mother were doing well at 6 months of follow-up.
