IVF pregnancy less successful with two embryos, study finds
by Press Association from on (#27PKZ)
Research shows if a healthy embryo is transferred alongside one of poorer quality then chance of pregnancy is reduced by 27%
Implanting two embryos during IVF can cut the chance of becoming pregnant by more than a quarter if one of the embryos is in a poorer state of health, new research suggests.
A study of almost 1,500 embryos that were implanted in women of all ages found that putting back a healthier embryo with one of poorer quality dramatically cut the chance of a successful pregnancy compared to just transferring one embryo.
