Your Fertility Specialist will discuss the possible risks as they relate to you and your partner during the Informed Consent Process.

Anyone taking medication for any reason should be aware of the possible side effects and should report adverse effects to those managing their treatment. The medications used for ART are known to create some minor side effects in women, but there is no evidence of increased risk to a baby born as a result of a properly managed treatment. The operations and anaesthetics used in ART carry similar risks as for any gynaecological operation. For gynaecological operations, the usual risks of serious complication or death are approximately 1 in 5,000.
