Believing that transferring more embryos will result in increased pregnancy rates: a flawed concept: a SWOT analysis
A belief exists that transferring multiple embryos can improve pregnancy rates. However, this concept is flawed. Multiple factors affect outcomes when transferring embryos, endometrial receptivity, and rates of aneuploidy among them. In this article, we will discuss how factors can affect outcomes a...

| description | A belief exists that transferring multiple embryos can improve pregnancy rates. However, this concept is flawed. Multiple factors affect outcomes when transferring embryos, endometrial receptivity, and rates of aneuploidy among them. In this article, we will discuss how factors can affect outcomes at IVF that are independent of the number of embryos transferred. It is important to understand the role of accessory factors on pregnancy rates to be able to counsel patients as per the number of embryos that should be transferred. An understanding of this concept will also lead to a realistic understanding of how multiple embryo transfers may result in better cumulative pregnancy rates than a single transfer of multiple embryos. Finally, we will present a SWOT analysis diagram to help guide clinical decision-making. |
