As with any medical treatment some couples may experience complications. One of the most prevalent is multiple births. The number of quality embryos kept and then matured to fetus status and birth is in the final analysis made by the couple themselves.
It's not an easy decision to make -- and it's a decision most couples don't have a lot of experience in making. If too many babies are conceived, the couple does have the option, as we stated earlier of removing one or more of them Called multfetal pregnancy reduction, this may improve the chances that those fetuses still in the mother will survive.
Another possible complication of these treatments is ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, or OHSS for short. A woman's ovaries, if over stimulated, may enlarge causing her bloating and pain. While treatment is seldom necessary for the mild to moderate symptoms, the actual pregnancy may delay the woman's recovery.
In rare instances, fluid accumulates in the woman's abdominal area as well as the chest. This causes abdominal swelling as well as shortness of breath.
But there are other problems that can arise from this fluid accumulation as well. This includes a depleted volume of blood and a low blood pressure. In some severe cases, emergency treatment is necessary.
The younger the woman undergoing this treatment, the greater the odds are that she'll experience this complications. Additionally, women with polycystic ovary syndrome also find themselves at a greater risk of OHSS.
Every invasive procedure carries with it the risk of excessive bleeding or acquisition of an infection. This can be said for any of the ART techniques as well.
Some research reveals that there may be an increased risk of birth defects when couples conceive through an ART procedure. Currently, there is not enough research confirming this. This piece of information needs to be in the front of your mind while you're weighing your treatment options.
