Hey friends! We’ve got some great news to share about IVF success rates that just came out from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART). Our center has outperformed the national averages in nearly every category for fresh IVF cycles. In 2009 alone, we conducted a whopping 3,673 fresh IVF cycles, with an impressive average pregnancy rate of 43% across all age groups, while the national average stands at 37%.
One of the standout achievements we’re particularly proud of is our commitment to reducing the risks associated with multiple pregnancies, like twins and triplets. Thanks to our elective Single Embryo Transfer (eSET) approach, we’ve managed to maintain a high live birth rate despite transferring fewer embryos. It’s all about giving our patients the best chance at a healthy pregnancy!
We know how important these success rates are for those exploring their options, and it can be overwhelming to navigate through all the statistics out there. If you want to dive deeper into the numbers, it’s crucial to understand the trusted sources of data and what those categories really mean for your individual chances.

When it comes to finding reliable data, SART and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are your go-to sources for IVF statistics. Did you know that nearly all of the 436 fertility centers in the U.S. report their outcomes annually? This means you can trust the information you’re seeing. However, don’t be surprised if the latest national report is a bit outdated. It takes time for clinics to confirm pregnancies and births before they can submit their data—often leading to a delay of 16-18 months!
Understanding Success Rates
Now, let’s talk about what the success rates really mean. It’s important to distinguish between pregnancy rates and live birth rates. A pregnancy is confirmed with a positive blood test and ultrasound, but a live birth means a baby (or babies) is born. Unfortunately, some pregnancies don’t lead to a live birth due to miscarriages, so the live birth rate is typically lower than the pregnancy rate.
If you’re curious about your chances of having a baby, here are a few key points to look at:
- Live Births per Cycle: This number shows your chances if you start a cycle. For patients aged 35 and younger, our live birth rate is 47.8%.
- Implantation Rate: This statistic tells you how well embryos are implanting, and a higher rate indicates better quality care.
- Multiple Birth Rates: It’s essential to consider the risks associated with twins or triplets. We are proud to have lower rates than the national average in this area.
Ultimately, our mission is to provide high-quality, personalized care that leads to healthy pregnancies and babies. We’re here to support you every step of the way. If you’re thinking about starting your journey, check out our at-home insemination kit for all your needs!
