, IVF can affect rate of twins. The rates of multiple pregnancies following IVF remain high. The mother’s age and the number of embryos to transfer in IVF are the factors that lead to multiple pregnancies in IVF cycles.[1] The following table shows the percentage of single and multiple births in women fewer than 35 years old, depending on the number of embryos transferred during the IVF treatment process.

It is true that women who undergo IVF are at a higher probability of having twins or multiples, but mainly, it depends on certain factors.

However, there is no guarantee that the single embryo will fertilize. In order to increase the chances of becoming pregnant, most women undergoing IVF opt for multiple embryos, which increases the odds.

It was informed to us if 2 embryos or blastocysts are transferred, 40% would be pregnant. Out of this 40%, 30% would have twins. But only 1% would have triplets or more. This was how we concluded to transfer 2 blastocysts instead of 1 even though there are risks for multiple pregnancies.
