Is it true that IVF children have a greater risk of birth defects?
In recent years, studies show a greater likelihood of complications such as rare urological defects, including bladder development outside the body, heart or central nervous system abnormalities, rare forms of cancer, increased risk of severe brain disorder and dangerously low birth weight. In addition, women face an increased risk of ectopic pregnancies and ovarian cancer following IVF treatments. There are safer natural methods of fertility care that respect the dignity of the human embryo, parents and the natural reproduction process. NaproTechnology: Creating a Culture of Life Revolution The development of natural procreation technologies began over 20 years ago with Drs. John and Lyn Billings, the Australian physicians who originally created the Billings Ovulation Method. Since that time, researchers have worked at St. Louis University and Creighton University Schools of Medicine and most recently at the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction (Omaha, Nabraska)
