As explained above, AI is a simple procedure, and therefore the likelihood of problems to occur is low. However, it involves a previous process of ovarian stimulation that can lead to negative effects such as multiple births, with a greater number of risks than a singleton pregnancy, or the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) due to an exaggerated response to fertility drugs.

Some women develop allergy or infections as well.

In any case, AI is a safe technique that is done under supervision to reduce the chance of complications to the minimum.
