What are the Risks and Complications of ART?

While ART can be highly effective, it is not without risks. Potential complications include:
- Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): A reaction to fertility medications that can cause swollen, painful ovaries.
- Multiple Pregnancies: Higher chances of twins or triplets, which carry risks for both mother and babies.
- Ectopic Pregnancy: An embryo implants outside the uterus, often in a fallopian tube.
- Birth Defects: Slightly increased risk of certain birth defects compared to natural conception.
