Success rates help our patients make decisions about IVF
When patients are learning about in vitro fertilization in the course of their family building journey, they naturally want to know will this procedure work for them. The Society for Reproductive Technology (SART) states that for women under 35, the percentage of live births via IVF is 55.6%. Live births per first embryo transfer is 41.4%. With a later embryo transfer, the live births percentage is around 47%.
It’s important to look at IVF success rates from two different angles. First, patients will want to know, given their individual diagnosis and circumstances, will IVF work for them. Second, patients can also find information on a clinic’s overall success rates with IVF through being an accredited member of SART where this data is reported annually.
How successful will I be with IVF?
When presented with the option of IVF, probably the first question that comes to mind for a patient is what is the probability it will work for them. Knowing your success probabilities can help you and your fertility specialist better plan for a course of treatment to maximize cost-savings and your chances of having a baby.
Fertility Answers offers IVF patients a complimentary Univfy® PreIVF™ Report makes fertility costs and success more predictable. The Univfy Report is personalized to you and scientifically validated based on Fertility Answers’ own data. The report is based on a rigorous scientific process to develop and validate a customized IVF success prediction model for a patient at Fertility Answers.
Univfy makes predictions of your chances of having a baby with each IVF cycle based on the analysis of dozens of key factors in your health profile together, including your age, body mass index, ovarian reserve test results, your reproductive history and clinical diagnosis. Using this personalized approach and leveraging machine learning and data modeling, Univfy is able to predict your IVF success rate with more than 95% accuracy.
Knowledge is power. Knowing your IVF success probabilities can help you and your doctor choose the best treatment plan for you.
What are the clinic’s IVF success rates?
Patients may also want to know IVF success in terms of the “track record” of the fertility clinic and its lab and how they compare to other fertility centers on a national level. A specific clinic’s IVF success is based on many different factors, but ultimately it boils down to how well the clinic can diagnose and treat a patient with the most successful IVF protocol as well as the expertise of the clinic’s IVF lab.
A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient characteristics, treatment approaches and entrance criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic.
At Fertility Answers, the experienced team of physicians and embryology staff combined with the use of the most advanced laboratory technologies in both our Baton Rouge and Lafayette locations has resulted in high pregnancy IVF success rates.
