Q: How healthy is an IVF baby compared to a normal baby? Is there any chromosomal or hormonal differences in IVF babies? Secondly, is a tubal pregnancy medically, not surgically, manageable if found within 6 weeks of pregnancy? After how many weeks is it dangerous?

A:An IVF baby is as healthy as a normal baby and one need not worry about chromosomal anomalies if the parents are chromosomally normal. Medical treatment for ectopic pregnancy does not depend on the gestational period, instead it is given when the patient is haemodynamically stable, beta hCG is not too high and there is no heart activity of the fetus, and the mass size is preferably less than 4-5 cm.
