IVF and multiple pregnancy how common is it and can the risk be reduced?

Question

We are considering IVF but are worried about multiple pregnancies (twins or triplets) and associated risks. How common is this, and are there ways to reduce the chances of multiple births while undergoing IVF?

Dr. Samhitha Alukur · Accepted Answer

Multiple pregnancies are more common in IVF because more than one embryo may be transferred. However, clinics now often recommend single embryo transfer, which significantly reduces the risk of twins or triplets.
 Multiple pregnancies carry higher risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and pregnancy complications. Your fertility specialist will discuss the best approach based on your age, embryo quality, and medical history. 
Modern IVF practices aim to balance success rates with safety, so couples can reduce risks while still achieving pregnancy.
