While ART offers hope to many, it also carries certain risks and considerations:
Multiple pregnancies: ART increases the likelihood of twins or triplets, which can lead to complications for both the mother and babies. Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): Fertility medications can sometimes cause the ovaries to become swollen and painful. Emotional and financial strain: ART procedures can be costly and emotionally taxing, especially when multiple cycles are required. Ethical and legal issues: The use of donor gametes, surrogacy, and the disposition of unused embryos can raise ethical and legal questions.
