  • Both the SART IVF Clinic Success Rate Report and the CDC IVF success rate report for 2009 cycles were released in 2011
  • Links to these reports are below

IVF success rate statistics for all reputable clinics are available on the web from both the Centers for Disease Control and from SART.

  • The Centers for Disease Control is a US Government agency. It publishes IVF success rates annually for all reputable fertility clinics.
  • The CDC IVF report includes data on age, specific fertility causes, number of embryos transferred, single and multiple births, etc.
  • The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology also publishes annual reports of IVF and egg donation statistics.
  • SART releases its annual report about a year earlier than the CDC does.

 

The best way to increase the success of IVF is by having procedures done at a high quality program.

  • The SART website now shows individual IVF clinic success rates for 2009 treatment cycles
  • The CDC site also has success rates for 2009
  • US clinics have IVF live birth rates ranging from 10% to over 60% - for women under age 35
  • Go to these sites and check success rates for any clinic that you are considering
  • Success rates vary significantly

Data from 2009 SART Report


Many fertility clinics have websites but don't post IVF live birth success rates on their sites.
  • Why not? Do they think patients don't want to know their success rates?

Below is a sample SART report for 2009 (our clinic's data)

  • Red arrow - program's name
  • Purple arrow - medical director of the program
  • Dark green arrows - columns with outcome results of different age groups
  • Dark blue arrow - Number of IVF cycles started (all women that started shots to do in vitro)
  • Pink arrow - percentage of "cycles" started that led to a baby's birth (fresh eggs)
  • Orange arrow - percentage of egg retrievals that led to a baby's birth (fresh eggs)
  • Light blue arrow - percentage of frozen embryo transfers (own eggs) that led to a baby's birth
  • Light green arrow - percentage of embryo transfers using donor eggs that led to a baby's birth

  • A sample data report is shown above on this page (our clinic)
  • Go to the SART site to check 2009 success rates (or earlier)

    Note: Every fertility clinic does not report to SART.

To go to the CDC site to check success rates:


Below is what you will see on their site (using our clinic as the example)

  • Select a state, a clinic, and a year to see that clinic's in vitro success report
  • A sample CDC in vitro report is shown below (the 2009 National Summary)
Below is part of the CDC's national summary table for 2009
Each fertility clinic has a similar page in this report with their IVF and donor egg success rates


Green highlight shows heading for "fresh" (not using frozen embryos) IVF cycles using "own eggs"
Pink shading at the top shows the "age under 35" column
Red arrow points to live birth rate "per cycle" (starting ovarian stimulating drugs for IVF is a "cycle")
Green arrow points to live birth rate "per retrieval" (cycles with an egg retrieval procedure done)
There are more cycles than retrievals since some "cycles" are cancelled for poor response to drugs
Between purple and orange lines are success rates using own eggs and frozen embryos
Below the orange line are success rates using donor eggs
Orange arrow points to the national live birth rate per transfer using fresh donor eggs
2009 CDC national IVF report table

We are proud that our success rates have consistently been one of the highest in the Midwest.

  • But don't take our word for it. Use the reports to check and compare in vitro statistics.

We are not bragging if we back it up!

Details about our success rates with donor eggs

A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches and entrance criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic.
