It is hard to predict the side effects of IVF treatment. Doctors say that the risks are closer to 0%, but they never tell you the truth, so you need to be careful with your pregnancy.

IVF babies can be just as healthy as those conceived through less invasive means. IVF just gives you a better chance of getting pregnant since you are introducing an egg already fertilized with sperm into the uterus.

There is no substantial difference between an IVF baby and the other one. If you are considered, then please ask your doctor.
