Infertility treatments tied to developmental delays at age 2 years

16 Jun 2022 by

Infants conceived with the help of infertility treatments, such as ovulation induction (OI) and artificial insemination with the husband’s sperm (AIH), are more likely to experience developmental delays at 2 years of age, according to a recent Japan study. However, such delays appear to grow nonsignificant by 3.5 years of age.
