Does IVF always result in multiples?!

Question

I need to know!

Answer

Nope! You can choose how many embryos to put in. Of course, there is still a chance that the one embryo divides into two but that risk does not increase with IVF.

Answer

There is a slightly higher probability of the embryo dividing once implanted for identicals. 0.45%normally, 5-9% with ivf.

Answer

Nope! My clinic only puts 1 in to try and diminish risk of multiples since multiples are a higher risk pregnancy and statistically lower birth rates etc. one can still split into identical twins but as others stated risk is still very small. I think I would have liked the option of transferring 2 if I could have.

Answer

Nope, due to my age only, my dr put two back. I still only got pregnant with one. The rate is only slightly higher for multiples. I’m sure the rate is going down with the new PGS testing that allow for only 1 egg to be placed back typically.

Answer

No. Especially if you only transfer 1 embryo.

Answer

No! It might slightly raise your risk a tidbit higher. Most clinics around me will only transfer 1 embryo unless you have some major setbacks and then they’d consider 2. I personally have 4 friends that have done IVF And there’s probably about 10/20 IVFers in my local infertility group and not a single one of them had twins. 
Most multiples I know are from IUI with multiple follicles (or even no IUI but multiple follicles timed) which is also true for most of the “famous” people who have quints.. sextuplets etc.

Answer

Definitely not.

Answer

Nope! That’s a discussion with your doctor.
