Results
We are often asked, “what are my chances of having a baby with Fertility treatment, or IVF?”. This is a difficult question to answer accurately, as every couple’s circumstances, and the factors contributing to their infertility, differ. To state the obvious, every woman, and/or couple we see have a “fertility problem”, and often have a number of issues, contributing to their lack of success in conceiving. A person’s individual success rate may be affected by numerous factors, such as age, lifestyle factors (including weight and smoking), genetic factors and direct causes of infertility.
The best reference points to use are age related break downs of success rates, and to “overlay” this information with your fertility specialist’s assessment of your circumstances.
When an IVF unit, or group of Units report, or publish results, the information presented can often be difficult to apply to individual patients or couples.
Most comparisons between IVF services refer to Clinical Pregnancy Rates. A “clinical pregnancy” is defined as a pregnancy sac in the uterus, a miscarriage, an ectopic pregnancy, or, an ongoing viable pregnancy. What really matters is the live birth rate per episode of treatment, or course of treatment
It is important to note that not every treatment cycle will result in an egg collection, embryo transfer or have any embryos suitable for freezing. The likelihood of getting pregnant with a particular treatment is very important. This will be discussed with you during one of your fertility appointments.
