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.
