Hi,

Welcome to HealthcareMagic.

IVF is quite safe procedure so don't worry.
Since your husband sperm count is low IVF increases chances of pregnancy.

Here healthy sperms are fertilised with egg and put into uterus. So problem of low sperm count is reduced as hardly they need 4 to 5 healthy sperms.

Once embryo is transferred and you conceive it is same as like normal pregnancy and you will complete it as normal pregnancy only. You will give birth to healthy baby as they screen embryo for many diseases and put only healthy embryo. The chances of abortion , normal delivery and any pregnancy complications are same for IVF and normal conception.

Hope I have been helpful .

Regards
