2 IVF and chances of Twins
Studies say that one out of five pregnancies due
to IVF may result in multiple births. Usually, it
is seen because during IVF, sometimes multiple
embryos might be inserted into the uterus in
order to increase the chances of giving birth to
twins. Because of this, sometimes more than one
embryo gets implanted in the uterine lining and
result in twin pregnancy.
3Although, even a single embryo can lead to a twin
pregnancy in case of IVF when one egg may split
and lead to the formation of two zygotes. These
are termed as monozygotic twins. While in the
case of twins as a result of two separate eggs
are called Dizygotic twins. This is a result of
transferring two or more embryos in the
uterus. IVF treatment proved to be a blessing
for the women who are unable to conceive normally
or in other words, are infertile. This medical
procedure increases the chances of a woman to get
pregnant after trying naturally for long.
4 Why sometimes IVF results in multiple births?
The prime reason for multiple pregnancies as a
result of IVF is because of transferring many
embryos at the same time. In the hope of
achieving a better possibility of success,
doctors sometimes routinely transferred multiple
embryos. The main reason behind this is that most
of the embryos can have chromosomal
abnormalities, i.e., they are not actually
viable. This is applicable in both the cases
whether the embryo is conceived naturally or
through the assistance process, IVF. With the
increase in womens age, the proportion of
abnormal eggs increases as well. The reason
behind this is that the quality of eggs tends to
decline over the years. With the hope that at
least one of the embryos would survive, doctors
place two or more embryos inside the uterus
simultaneously thinking that it would increase
the rate of pregnancy. This lead to cases of
multiple pregnancies as most of the times, more
than one embryo get successfully implanted.
5How can we avoid the chances of twins because of
IVF?
Most of the leading experts in the field of
fertility now go for eSET (elective single embryo
transfer) and consider it to be the best practice
for most of the IVF cycles. During the ovarian
stimulation process, sometimes the woman may
produce a large number of eggs and also can have
a considerable number of viable embryos
available. And the doctor still may suggest
transferring only one embryo.
6Every IVF cycle is one of a kind and never can we
have a single answer that it is right for all.
The women going through IVF cycle and her doctor
can assess the risks and analyse the benefits of
eSET in comparison to multiple transfers in her
case. In some of the cases, fertility doctors can
still go for transferring more than one embryo.
This is mostly seen in the cases of older
patients who already had multiple failed attempts.
