IUI with PCOS chances of multiple pregnancy and safety concerns?
2 weeks ago
My sister has PCOS, and the doctor advised IUI after ovulation induction. She is scared about multiple pregnancies and side effects from the fertility drugs. How common are twins or triplets with IUI, and is it safe?

With ovulation induction, there is a slightly higher chance of multiple pregnancies because more than one egg may be released. Twins are the most common, while triplets are rare. Clinics carefully monitor hormone levels and follicle development to minimize risks. Fertility medications are usually well-tolerated, but side effects like bloating, mild cramping, or mood changes can occur. Doctors aim to balance effectiveness and safety, and patients are closely supervised to reduce the chances of higher-order multiples.
