So I asked AI “how many ivf embryos does it take to get one live birth?”
Here is what it said:
AI Overview
On average, it can take one to three or more IVF embryos to achieve a live birth, with the exact number depending on factors like the woman’s age and the quality of the embryos; however, the live birth rate per embryo transferred is typically around 20-30%, meaning that multiple transfers may be needed to achieve a successful pregnancy.
Key points to consider:
Age matters: Younger women generally have higher success rates per embryo transfer compared to older women.
Embryo quality: Only high-quality embryos are likely to result in a live birth.
Multiple transfers: Many IVF cycles require multiple embryo transfers to achieve a live birth.
Single embryo transfer: In many cases, especially for younger women, doctors may recommend transferring only one embryo to minimize the risk of multiple births.
*************************************************************
Notice under “Multiple transfers” so they may transfer how many? 2? 3? just to get one? They are playing God.
Also...who are they to determine what a “quality embryo” is????
I’m just an embryo .... with a long, long way to go!
The AI output needs to include a discussion of the widespread practice of so-called “selective reduction” within the IVF process.
Multiple transfers. That sounds like what happened with
Octo-Mom
Remember her? She was and still is a single mother who wanted to “achieve her dream ‘ of having a house full of children. Many people blamed her doctor, who transferred all those embryos within her, even if was obvious that this young woman was not mentally wrapped too tightly.
