Accepted Answer

IVF (in vitro fertilization) treatments often involve the transfer of multiple embryos to increase the chances of successful fertilization and implantation. However, this also increases the likelihood of multiple births, such as twins or triplets. While advancements in IVF technology have reduced the risk of multiple births in recent years, multiple pregnancies still occur in approximately 20% of IVF cases.
