IVF can pose several challenges, including high financial costs, emotional strain, and physical side effects from fertility medications, such as bloating or ovarian hyperstimulation. The process also demands significant time and medical commitment and carries small risks of bleeding or infection. Compared with natural conception, there are slightly higher risks of complications in pregnancy and birth, though advances such as single embryo transfer and improved techniques have reduced many of these concerns.
