With the increasing prevalence of assisted reproductive technology, more and more families are realizing their dream of having children through IVF. However, some prospective parents, while overjoyed, inevitably worry: will children born through IVF technology also face fertility problems when they grow up? In fact, these concerns are scientifically unfounded. Understanding the basic principles of IVF will reveal that there is no fundamental difference between them and naturally conceived babies.

 

The only fundamental difference between IVF babies and naturally conceived babies lies in the location where fertilization occurs—outside the body. IVF technology merely uses artificial assistance to help sperm and egg unite, while once the fertilized egg forms and implants in the mother's uterus for development, its growth and development process is exactly the same as that of a naturally conceived fetus.

 

So, how is the life of an "IVF baby" born? Simply put, it involves retrieving sperm and eggs from the parents' bodies, combining them in a special laboratory dish to form a fertilized egg, and then culturing the fertilized egg into an embryo. After about 4-6 days of cultivation, the doctor will transfer the high-quality embryo back into the mother's uterus, allowing it to implant, gestate, and eventually be delivered, just like a naturally conceived embryo.

 

Real-life examples strongly refute the notion that IVF babies have lower fertility. Louise Brown, the world's first IVF baby, naturally conceived and gave birth to a healthy baby boy at the age of 29. Furthermore, China's first embryo transfer IVF baby has grown up healthily and naturally conceived and given birth to a healthy baby girl. These living examples fully demonstrate that IVF babies are no different from naturally conceived children in terms of fertility.

 

From a scientific perspective, IVF technology may even have certain advantages. For example, second-generation IVF technology (ICSI) ensures the optimization of the fertilization process by artificially selecting the most active sperm for intracytoplasmic sperm injection. More importantly, third-generation IVF technology (IVF-PGT) performs genetic diagnosis and screening of embryos before transfer, selecting chromosomally normal and the healthiest embryos for implantation. This effectively avoids the transmission of certain hereditary diseases such as thalassemia, Down syndrome, hemophilia, and color blindness to future generations.

 

Dr. Nathan Zhang, whose IVF USA team has been engaged in overseas assisted reproductive consultation services for more than ten years, also points out that IVF technology, by combining carefully selected sperm and eggs to form high-quality embryos, is a result of eugenics in a certain sense. Therefore, IVF babies are not only as healthy as naturally conceived babies but may even have certain fertility advantages.
