Information
|
| | | A urine or a blood test confirms the possible pregnancy two weeks after the insemination or the embryo transfer. The first ultrasound scan can be done three weeks after a positive pregnancy test. After this, the follow-up antenatal care is normally planned according to individual needs. Pregnancies which have been induced by assisted reproduction methods continue, on average, similarly to any other pregnancies. About 20% of all pregnancies are miscarried and there is a small (about 1%) risk of ectopic pregnancy. Commonly the increased risks in IVF are related to multiple pregnancies, as described in the section "Risks and side-effects". |
