Is having twins through IVF really the ‘ideal outcome’? Fertility expert shares why this common belief is misleading

Dr Sakshi Chopra, consultant IVF at Kailash Deepak Hospital, states that the belief that IVF leads to twins as an 'ideal outcome' is a major misconception.

Twin pregnancies were more common earlier when multiple embryos were transferred due to less advanced IVF technology.

Advances such as blastocyst culture, genetic testing, and laser-assisted hatching now allow high success rates with single embryo transfer.

The goal of IVF is a healthy pregnancy and baby, not twins, as twin pregnancies are considered risky.
