Fertility Clinic Success Rates : IVF

Since 1992, reporting of IVF (in vitro fertilization) success rates has been federally mandated. IVF is a method of helping a woman conceive a child. During the IVF process, an egg is removed from a woman’s ovaries, fertilized outside of the body, and then put back into her womb. Wondering what is a Fertility Clinic Success Rates? Let's first start with why.

WHY IVF?

6.7 million women aren’t able to have a child naturally. The number one predictor of IVF success is the maternal age. There is only a 5% chance of getting pregnant each month as a health 40-year old. These statistics have made the IVF a predominant option when conceiving.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

There are two types of protocols when it comes to IVF: banking cycles and thawed embryo transfer. The use of fresh embryos has started to significantly decrease since the year 2014. Now, IVF centers lean towards a “freeze all” procedure. This is when women bank their eggs with the intent of using them in future iVF cycles.

SUCCESS

Technology has made the IVF business more reliable and better year after year, but the success rates (according to the 2015 CDC Report) are less than 50%. Depending on age, the success to live birth through thawed embryos range from 46.6%-41.5%. With fresh embryos, 47.5% to 15.7%. These statistics prove that the success rate for older women in consistently low.There is a plea for doctors to promote more realistic views on IVF and its’ success.
