In such a situation, the question arises why multiple pregnancies occur mainly in IVF. Why are twins often born because of this? Know the reason for this…
Why are twins born through IVF?
1. By implanting more than one embryo
During IVF, doctors implant multiple embryos into the woman’s body simultaneously to increase the chances of pregnancy. When this embryo is not able to implant properly in the uterus, it may fail. Implanting more than one embryo can increase the chances of conceiving at least one child, but it can also increase the chances of having twins or more.
2. Super-ovulation
When a woman opts for IVF, the doctor gives her many types of medications to conceive. These medications attempt to stimulate the ovaries to produce more eggs during a cycle. Because when conceiving naturally, a woman can only produce one egg at a time. In such a situation, the possibility of multiple pregnancies increases due to the greater number of eggs in the IVF process.
