Potential risks and side effects of IVF include multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), ectopic pregnancy, and complications from egg retrieval or embryo transfer procedures. Other risks may include ovarian torsion, infection, and psychological stress. Hormonal medications used during IVF can cause mood swings, hot flashes, and ovarian cysts. It's essential to discuss these risks with a healthcare provider before proceeding with treatment.
