Some studies have shown a higher chance of miscarriage (early pregnancy loss) in older mothers. For all women, about half of first trimester miscarriages happen because of a chromosome problem in the baby. The risk of chromosome problems increase with the mother's age. So miscarriage is also more likely.

IVF children 'are twice as likely' to suffer poor health. Children born following IVF treatment are almost twice as likely to suffer ill-health, experts have warned. A study of hundreds of seven-year-olds has revealed that they are admitted to hospital much more frequently than other youngsters of the same age.

IVF birth defects and infant development The vast majority of studies to date indicate that infant development is normal in children conceived through IVF. The major risk factor in infant developmental problems is due to premature delivery more common in multiple pregnancies (twins etc.).

About 20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Unfortunately, the miscarriage rate is higher for women with infertility, including those who try IUI. A single miscarriage does not increase your chances of a subsequent miscarriage. So if you lose the pregnancy, it's safe to try again without fear.

After five unsuccessful IVF cycles, the chance of pregnancy rose by less than 1 percent. Undergoing IVF doesn't necessarily mean you're infertile and can't get pregnant without assisted reproductive technology.

Since ICSI takes place as part of the IVF process, there is an increased chance of becoming pregnant with multiples for couples that try ICSI. Couples that use ICSI with IVF have about a 30 to 35 percent chance for twins and a 5 to 10 percent chance for having triplets or more.
