Key Clinical Message A pregnancy with conjoined twins was observed after transfer of a multinuclear embryo. As nuclear mechanisms have a role in cellular differentiation, association between multinucleation and fetal malformations is possible. Follow‐up studies on children born after transfer of embryos with bi/multinuclear blastomeres are needed.
