Why fertility clinics must stop transferring multiple embryos during IVF — AFRH president

The president of the African Fertility Society (AFRH) is urging fertility clinics to cease the practice of transferring multiple embryos during In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) procedures. This recommendation stems from concerns about a rise in complications affecting both mothers and newborns associated with multiple pregnancies resulting from IVF. The AFRH president advocates for a shift towards single embryo transfer to mitigate these risks and improve patient outcomes.

Reducing multiple embryo transfers in IVF can lead to safer pregnancies and healthier babies by minimizing the risks of premature birth and other complications.
