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.
