Advantages and disadvantages of in vitro fertilization?

Answer 1

studies have shown that ivf children can have long term hospitilizations or surgerys
Pro: for some people, the only possibility to bear their biological child. Cons: cost (usually not covered by insurance); likely need to repeat attempt at ivf several times; invasive physically on the woman; possibility of lab mixups (there have been cases of the wrong sperm or eggs or embryo being used for the wrong patient); ethical concerns over the creation of excess embryos or their destruction; time and effort and stress spent on a gamble. Con-counters: cost compared to adoption may be comparable depending on your criteria and how successful you are (at either ivf or adoption); ethical concerns can be kept in mind when attempting ivf, by not creating more embryos than you intend to have transferred into your uterus, and if any are left, you can donate them to other couples to use. The underlying weight of either the pros or the cons will depend on one's beliefs, intentions, comfort levels with the alternatives, financial well-being, and seeing eye-to-eye with one's partner (if any).
Pros-

• It is by far the most effective treatment in order to bear a child if you are having difficulty conceiving naturally.
• You can genetically test embryos prior to pregnancy and avoid genetic diseases.

Cons-

• Women who go through IVF are usually at risk of a condition called 'ovarian hyperstimulation'.
• IVF is a very expensive, stressful and time consuming method of conceiving.
• IVF ups your chances of a multiple birth.
