Abstract
Heterotropic pregnancy is a rare condition with high fetal and maternal morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis and management of heterotropic pregnancy is at times difficult.  The bleeding in our case was presumed to be due to ectopic pregnancy, the patient was managed by surgical intervention. However, presence of HCG surge and uterine gestational sac seen on ultrasound proved that it was a heterotopic pregnancy following spontaneous conception ultimately.
