These twins have a much better chance of doing well during the rest of the pregnancy than a quadruplet pregnancy. However, there is a small risk of losing the entire pregnancy following the reduction procedure. In pregnancies that go to or near full term, there is probably no increased risk of abnormal offspring. Men participating in the ICSI procedure may benefit from additional screening tests to reduce the risk of anomalies in their offspring. In general, it is recommended that pregnancies conceived through assisted reproductive technologies be monitored in the same fashion as naturally conceived pregnancies.
Exceptions are pregnancies conceived through donor eggs.
In this case, the extent of fetal screening is determined by the age of the egg donor and not that of the egg recipient.
