What are the chances of multiples with IVF?

The chances of having multiples, such as twins, with IVF are higher compared to natural conception. This is because more than one embryo is often transferred to increase the likelihood of pregnancy. On average, the chance of twins from IVF is estimated to be around 30%. However, multiples can also occur naturally when a single fertilised egg splits into two embryos, resulting in identical twins. Fertility clinics carefully manage embryo transfers to balance success rates and minimize the risks associated with multiple pregnancies.
