Current medical research has not found that IVF technology itself directly affects a child's future fertility. An IVF child's reproductive potential depends mainly on their own genetics and health, not on the method of conception. However, if parental infertility is caused by genetic factors, such as chromosomal abnormalities, those traits may be passed to the child and increase future infertility risk. IVF also has a higher rate of multiple pregnancy, which may increase risks of preterm birth and low birth weight, but these are not directly linked to adult fertility. For individual genetic risk assessment, consult a reproductive medicine specialist.
