Surrogacy in Oregon will never be the same due to new research published in Fertility and Sterility, a global science, obstetrics, and fertility journal. After culling the data from hundreds of IVF clinics across the United States, a research team has concluded that the likelihood of a pregnancy resulting from an IVF cycle is not affected by the number of embryos transferred.
People hoping to grow their families via surrogacy in Oregon are urged to seek the assistance of an experienced and reputable agency by calling 503-427-1880 or visiting SurrogacyOregon.com.
Deciding how many embryos to transfer is one of the most difficult choices intended parents make during the surrogacy process. Although there has been a large trend towards single embryo transfers, many intended parents have fears that this reduces the likelihood of a pregnancy taking. This and other factors drives many to opt to transfer multiple embryos, which often results in carrying multiple fetuses. Statistically, around 30-percent of all IVF pregnancies involve twins, while multiples, as a whole, account for about 40-percent of all pregnancies resulting from IVF. Comparatively, the incidence of multiples in pregnancy across the board in the United States is just a mere 3.5-percent.
Pregnancy with multiples is risky for both the carrier and the babies. Miscarriage rates are higher and the carrier is more likely to suffer from conditions like preeclampsia. Plus, the babies tend to be born earlier and have lower birth weights, which puts them at risk of being underdeveloped and requiring additional treatment after delivery. In choosing the number of embryos to transfer, many intended parents have historically felt as if the decision was a double-edged sword; to transfer a singleton for the sake of health and safety or to transfer multiples, with the hope that it would increase the likelihood of a viable pregnancy resulting. Selective reduction, also a consideration for many, also poses its own risks and comes with ethical considerations. Thankfully, this new research shows that people choosing surrogacy in Oregon can go for the safest option, single embryo transfer, without concerns of lowering their chances of having a viable pregnancy.

This new information applies to all carriers under age 38. Researchers also noted that, while the pregnancy rate did not decline when only one embryo was transferred, the instances of multiples did. Some multiples still resulted through single-embryo transfer, though the instances were rare, as identical twins can occur in any pregnancy when an egg divides. The prevalence was on par with pregnancies that occur without medical interventions.
