Is it risky to be a test-tube baby?

Generally speaking, IVF technology is safe, but there may be some complications.

Doing IVF includes several specific steps, such as egg retrieval, in vitro fertilization and fertilized egg transplantation. Problems in any of these steps may lead to the failure of assisted pregnancy, so the success of IVF is closely related to the patient's age, physique and health besides medical technical factors.

Before doing IVF, women often have to accept ovulation induction, and a large number of ovulation induction drugs have obvious side effects. After taking the medicine, nausea, oliguria, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, weight gain, renal failure and other adverse reactions often occur.

The first step of IVF is to puncture women to take eggs in a strict operating environment, and puncture is sometimes harmful. There may be pain, bleeding, organ damage or massive bleeding when taking eggs by puncture, and it may also cause infection.
