Can In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) increase the risk of multiple pregnancies?

Yes, In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) can increase the risk of multiple pregnancies. This is because multiple embryos are often transferred into the uterus to enhance the chances of successful implantation. However, advancements in IVF techniques, such as elective single embryo transfer (eSET), aim to reduce this risk by transferring only one embryo, thus lowering the likelihood of multiple pregnancies while maintaining high success rates in achieving pregnancy.
