Attitudes of IVF/ICSI-twin mothers towards twins and single embryo transfer

Abstract

Our study suggests that IVF/ICSI-twin mothers have a greater wish for twins compared with non-IVF/ICSI-twin mothers. Despite the fact that only a quarter of IVF/ICSI mothers agreed to SET, delivery of a child with VLBW and hence high morbidity was predictive of high acceptance of SET. The implementation of elective SET requires extensive counselling of the infertile couples and legislation including strict selection criteria may also be used to facilitate this process.
