What you should know
Egg collection has risks such as bleeding, infection, and injury. Hormone treatment can cause ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Pregnancy may still involve miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Transferring more than one embryo raises the risk of twins or higher-order births.
What to ask your care team
“What risks matter most in my case, and how will you reduce them?”
One important reminder
Severe belly pain, rapid swelling, trouble breathing, fainting, or very low urine output need urgent medical advice.
Before your next visit
Write down your questions. Bring your medicine list and any test results you have. Ask for a plan in writing. If an answer is not clear, ask your team to explain it in a different way.
