While IVF is generally safe, there are some side effects and risks involved:
Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): This condition can occur when the ovaries respond too well to the stimulation medications, causing swelling and pain. Multiple Pregnancies: Transferring more than one embryo can lead to multiple pregnancies, which carry a higher risk of complications. Egg Retrieval Complications: Though rare, complications can arise during the egg retrieval process, such as bleeding or infection. Emotional Stress: The IVF process can be emotionally taxing for couples, especially if multiple cycles are needed.
