There is speculation of high chances of antepartum complications, complications associated with having multiples, and post-partum complications for the neonates, all due to IVF treatments. Moreover, there is little known about the long term effects on children born via IVF because most research is limited to less than a year after birth (2). Along with little research on the long-term effects of IVF, there is little known about the differences in complications arising from singleton births and multiples births conceived by IVF. A few research groups have come together to collect and compare what little data there is on the long-term effects of IVF for both mother and child. By examining these works, there is little research to show what complications or effects are direct results of IVF
