Risks and complications of IVF treatment

What are the possible complications of IVF treatment?

The risks of IVF should be understood before a patient embarks on treatment.

As with any medical or surgical procedure, a few patients undergoing IVF treatment will experience side effects and complications. The most common complications associated with IVF treatment are the failure of treatment, problems experienced as a consequence of ovarian stimulation, the risk of multiple pregnancy, the risks associated with egg collection and the possibility of ectopic pregnancy.

How often these problems occur, how they can be prevented, and how dangerous they are, will be discussed in the following pages.
