Answer
To reduce the risk of ectopic pregnancy during IVF, doctors take several precautions. First, embryos are carefully placed directly into the uterus using ultrasound guidance, minimizing the chance of them implanting in the fallopian tubes. Choosing a skilled fertility specialist is crucial for proper embryo transfer. Using frozen embryo transfers (FET) and transferring fewer embryos can also help lower the risk. Additionally, treating any underlying conditions like infections or tubal damage before IVF improves safety.
Following your doctor’s post-transfer instructions and attending all follow-up scans ensures early detection and management. While ectopic pregnancy is rare in IVF, proper planning and expert care greatly reduce the risk. Always consult your fertility doctor to understand the best approach for your case.
