Risks of In Vitro Fertilization

Risks of In Vitro Fertilization
share

IVF is an excellent way to get pregnant if, for any reason you don’t get pregnant naturally. Although it is a very safe procedure, you are probably wondering if it involves any risk and, if so, how to minimize it.

We will explain the possible complications that may occur with this technique.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome

In an IVF procedure-due to the use of injectable medications such as human choriogonadotropin - can occur the so called “ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome", in which the ovaries swell causing pain.

Some related symptoms may be mild abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, that typically last for a week.

Ovarian puncture

When performing this technique, sometimes bleedings that are generally self-limited may occur. Exceptionally, it may be necessary to intervene to solve it.

Multiple pregnancy

IVF increases the risk of multiple pregnancy if more than one embryo is transferred in the uterus. Therefore, there is a tendency to transfer a single embryo that is helping to greatly reduce the number of multiple pregnancies.

Other risks

Although the probability of these events is low, sometimes the embryo instead of implanting in the uterus may implant in the tube, leading to an ectopic pregnancy that will require treatment.

In any case, Barcelona IVF we encourage you to ask us any questions or concerns you may have regarding IVF. Our professionals will help you instantly so that you can always feel calm and accompanied.
