Why Twin Pregnancy Is Riskier Than You Think: A Guide for IVF & Surrogacy Patients

Although many intended parents think having twins is an ideal outcome, medical research shows that twin pregnancies carry significantly higher risks for both the pregnant woman and the babies. This is why most fertility specialists now recommend Single Embryo Transfer (SET) whenever appropriate.

Why Do People Want Twins?

• Complete their family in one pregnancy
• Reduce future IVF costs
• Avoid another embryo transfer
• Minimize treatment time

However, what seems beneficial financially or emotionally can substantially increase medical risks.
