ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) includes procedures such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) that can increase the risk of all the options listed. Ectopic pregnancies occur when the fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus, and ART increases the risk of this happening. Low birth weight is also more common in ART pregnancies, as multiple embryos are often transferred, which can lead to premature birth and low birth weights. Multiple births are also more likely with ART as more than one embryo is often transferred to increase the chances of conception. Additionally, male infertility may be a factor in the need for ART and can potentially be passed on to male offspring.
