Human Reproduction magazine published this week a study conducted by a Finnish team from the University of Oulu, in which they show that Implanting only one embryo during the assisted reproduction process is a safer option, both for people over 35 and younger ones, because what matters is the quality and not the quantity.
It is believed that at a certain age, when an insemination is performed, it will be more successful if more than one embryo is transferred, although there is a risk of multiple pregnancy, but the study states that the implantation of a single embryo can also be effective to get to stay in a state and in a safer way, also avoiding a possible multiple pregnancy
According to the president of the Spanish Fertility Society, Roberto Matorral, there is also concern and interest in Spain in reducing the number of embryos and, consequently, avoiding or minimizing multiple births, although for the moment the end of the Nordic countries has not been reached and this option is reserved for very young women, for those who are already mothers or knowing that a quality embryo is available. The Finnish specialists, after verifying that the success of pregnancy among women aged 36 to 39 years could be as effective as that achieved in younger women, reiterate that what really matters is the quality of the material, and the choice of technique should be based on this issue rather than the patient's age.
According to Dr. Matorral, in Nordic countries they turn to assisted reproduction techniques too soon, and although twin births sometimes involve certain risks, current advances help the child to develop properly and ensure the well-being of both the mother As of the children.
