Treatment procedures for infertility problem - IVF, in vitro fertilization(Part6)



Luteal support

After the embryo transfer, progesterone or hCG supplementation may help maintain your uterine lining (endometrium) to support the implantation and growth of the developing embryo.

 

 

IVF risks

-          Multiple pregnancies: Since each IVF therapy includes 2-3 embryos for implantation, multiple pregnancy may be resulted. Patients should consult their doctors when deciding the number of embryos to be transferred.

-          Ectopic pregnancy: ectopic pregnancy means the embryo is implanted in the fallopian tube, which may develop occasionally during IVF therapy.

-          Drug reaction: some people may be allergic to the fertility medications used in IVF therapy. However, one should be reminded that drug allergy is possible in all treatments.

-          Congenital defects: the risk associated with IVF is low. However, congenital defect is related to multiple factors, including genetic factors, the age of parents, chemical/radiation exposure, etc.
