What are the chances of twins with IVF?

IVF stands for In vitro fertilization. It is a procedure in which the eggs and sperm get fertilized in a laboratory. The embryo formed is transferred to the uterus, and pregnancy happens. 

Isn’t it amazing! 

But sometimes IVF procedure can give you more than you wished for! IVF treatment can make you a mother twice! Instead of one, IVF treatment can give you two babies! Yes, you can give birth to twins with IVF! 

You might be thinking, what is bad in this? 

One can get double good news! 

Unfortunately, this is not the case! 

What will happen if you try to take out more chocolates from a very narrow jar? 

There are chances that your hand can get stuck inside the jar! 

It is safe to take out one chocolate or take out chocolates one by one instead of taking them out together! 

The same logic applies in the case of twins with IVF. Twin pregnancy with IVF can increase the risk of medical complications! 

Just like the thought of getting more than one chocolate makes you excited, the same way the idea of getting more than one baby(twins) can make you feel excited! 

But what is the result? 

Your hand might get stuck inside the jar! In the case of twin pregnancy with IVF, you and your baby are at a greater risk of medical complications! 

Thus, the IVF doctor at the best IVF center in Ahmedabad advises avoiding going for twin pregnancy. 

1 out of every 5 pregnancy cases can result in twins with IVF. This happens because multiple embryos get transferred into the uterus during the IVF procedure. Though by transferring multiple embryos into the uterus, the chances of pregnancy increase, the chances of giving birth to twins also increase, which in turn increases the risk for the mother and the child. But do not worry! One can avoid having a twin pregnancy by requesting the doctor at the IVF hospital in Ahmedabad to implant one embryo into the uterus during the IVF procedure. The IVF doctor at the best IVF hospital in Ahmedabad chooses the healthiest embryo to transfer into the uterus to avoid twin pregnancy and have a successful pregnancy. 

Some of the symptoms of having a twin pregnancy with IVF are as follows- 

• Excess HCG
• Increase in weight
• The rapid growth of the uterus
• Round ligament pain in the 3rd trimester
• Excess of fetal proteins

Twin pregnancy with IVF is risky because of the following reasons-

• Excess blood pressure, elevated protein in the urine, and edema are all signs of pre-eclampsia. These issues are pretty severe for both the mother and the baby.
• During pregnancy, some women develop gestational diabetes, which can lead to a big baby. During vaginal birth, you and the newborn may sustain more damage, and the newborn may experience convulsions, feeding issues, and breathing difficulties.
• In the case of twin pregnancy, the need for a C-section during delivery rises. It raises the risk of hemorrhaging during or after childbirth. The recovery period is also longer than with a vaginal birth.
• The rate of a preterm baby is twelve percent that is born before 32 weeks. They may have to deal with greater medical issues.
• Low birth weight in twins can create various issues in the child’s vision, hearing, breathing, heart issues, cerebral palsy, and other things.
• The phenomenon of twin-twin transfusion can happen in 10% of twin pregnancies. It can result in excess blood flow in 1 child and a deficiency in the other.
