The risk of ectopic pregnancy after tubal sterilization

Article Abstract:

Women who undergo tubal sterilization may still have a risk of an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is one in which the fertilized embryo does not implant properly in the uterus. Researchers followed 10,685 women who had undergone tubal sterilization, which involves tying the Fallopian tubes. During a follow-up from 5 to 14 years, there were 47 ectopic pregnancies in the group. The 10-year cumulative risk of an ectopic pregnancy was 7.3 for every 1,000 procedures. Women sterilized with a tubal coagulation procedure had 27 times the risk of an ectopic pregnancy as those sterilized with a partial salpingectomy.

Live-Birth Rates and Multiple-Birth Risk Using In Vitro Fertilization

Article Abstract:

Maternal age and the number of embryos transferred determine whether a multiple birth will occur in women who have in vitro fertilization (IVF). Many doctors transfer more than one embryo to increase the chance of pregnancy, but this will also increase the risk of multiple birth. In a study of 35,554 IVF procedures, 9,873 resulted in pregnancy. Younger women were more likely to have a multiple birth if 2 or more embryos were transferred. Women who received 3 embryos were more likely to have a multiple birth than those who received 2 embryos, regardless of their age.
