Why do IVF patients have Ectopic Pregnancy?

Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality during the first trimester and the incidence increases dramatically with assisted-reproductive technology (ART), occurring in approximately 1.5–2.1 % of patients undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF).

Fertility treatment:

• There is a chance of ectopic pregnancy resulting from embryo transfer during IVF treatment as embryos can travel into the Fallopian tube,
• for example, during the implantation stage.
• The more embryos that are transferred, the higher the risk.
