In IVF (In Vitro Fertilization), it’s not true that there are always two babies—but the chance of twins or multiple pregnancies can be higher if more than one embryo is transferred into the uterus.
Why can IVF lead to twins?
* Multiple embryo transfer: Sometimes doctors transfer 2 or more embryos to improve the chances of pregnancy. If more than one implants, twins or multiples can happen.
* Single embryo transfer: Many clinics now prefer transferring just one embryo to reduce the risk of twins.
* Identical twins: In rare cases, one embryo can split into two, leading to identical twins.
Are twins guaranteed with IVF?
No. Most IVF pregnancies can also result in a single baby.
Why avoid multiple pregnancies sometimes?
Twins or higher-order pregnancies can increase risks such as:
* Premature birth
* Low birth weight
* High blood pressure during pregnancy
* Other maternal and baby complications
That’s why fertility specialists often recommend the safest embryo transfer plan based on age, health, and embryo quality.
