Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF.

This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.

But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this?
