Assisted reproductive technology increases multiple births. Reducing embryo transfers in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, especially to a maximum of two for women under 39, can lower risks.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Obstetrics and Gynecology

Background:

  • Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are linked to higher rates of multiple pregnancies.
  • The increasing use of ART contributes to a rise in iatrogenic multiple births.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review strategies for minimizing multiple pregnancies associated with ovulation induction and in vitro fertilization (IVF).
  • To provide recommendations on embryo transfer numbers to reduce multiple birth risks.

Main Methods:

  • Ultrasound monitoring is crucial for safe ovulation induction, with cycle cancellation if excessive ovulation occurs.
  • In IVF, the number of embryos transferred is the primary factor influencing multiple pregnancy risk.

Main Results:

  • Current trends in IVF focus on reducing embryo transfers to mitigate multiple pregnancy risks.

  • A suggested maximum of two embryos for transfer in women under 39 is proposed.
  • Women aged 39 and over, with lower implantation chances, could have up to three embryos transferred.

    • Conclusions:

    • Careful monitoring and strategic embryo transfer numbers are essential for safe assisted conception.
    • Limiting embryo transfers, particularly in younger women, is key to reducing iatrogenic multiple births.
