Does IVF increase the chances of special needs?

So my sister in law (partners sister) had a baby through IVF and he is now showing traits of autism (non verbal, lining up toys, doesn't respond to his name, repetitive behaviour patterns etc).

Line strong enough?

Hi all, Is this line strong enough for being 4 days late? we have been trying for 3 years and have had 3 failed ivf transfers, and this happened naturally, which we can’t believe. We are very cautious so any reassurance would be appreciated.

Why?

I took a test and I highly doubt that I’m pregnant. My last period was 12/23/24. I had a spare test at my desk and wanted to waste it because I’m not ttc anymore. Why does the test look like this? I know it’s negative but I’m curious ?
