Are IVF Pregnancies Different? What Should Be Considered During Follow-Up?

Pregnancies achieved through IVF treatment can be considered high-risk pregnancies. If the maternal age is advanced, the risk of miscarriage increases, and conditions such as gestational diabetes and hypertension are observed more frequently. Additionally, if the IVF pregnancy is a multiple pregnancy, close monitoring at frequent intervals is required. The medications used in pregnancies achieved after IVF treatment are specific. Progesterone support and blood-thinning injections or medications may be required during the first three months. Early pregnancy bleeding may be observed more frequently. These cases should be followed closely every 2–3 weeks, or even weekly during periods of symptoms, with reassuring guidance and careful monitoring.
