To find out success rates at IVF clinics, use the CDC and the SART IVF success rate reports
US Government's "Centers for Disease Control" (CDC) Report and the "Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology" (SART)
Report
Page author Richard Sherbahn MD
- The SART IVF success rate report for 2011 cycles was released in February 2013 (links below)
- The CDC IVF success rate report for 2011 cycles has not yet been released (links to 2010 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 best way to increase the success of IVF is by having procedures done at a high quality program.

IVF clinic success rates differ greatly |
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 2011 (our clinic's data)
- Red arrow - IVF clinic name
- Purple arrow - medical director of the IVF program
- Dark green arrow - columns with outcome results for different female age groups
- Dark blue arrow - Number of IVF "cycles" started (all women that started shots to do in vitro)
- Pink arrow - percent of cycles started that led to a baby's birth (fresh eggs)
- Orange arrow - percent of egg retrievals that led to a baby's birth (fresh eggs)
- Light blue arrow - percent of frozen embryo transfers (own eggs) that led to a baby's birth
- Light green arrow - percent of embryo transfers using fresh embryos and donor eggs that led to a baby's birth
- Yellow arrow - percent of embryo transfers using frozen embryos and donor eggs that led to a baby's birth
The links below allow couples with fertility problems to check IVF (or egg donation) live birth success rates for any reputable in vitro fertilization program
Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology released the 2011 IVF data in February 2013
To go to the SART site to check success rates:
- On their site, go to "IVF Success Rate Reports", click on the state you want, then the clinic, then "ART Data Report"
- A sample data report is shown above on this page (our clinic)
- Go to the SART site to check 2011 success rates (or earlier)
Note: Every fertility clinic does not report to SART.
To go to the CDC site to check success rates:
- The CDC released its 2010 IVF report in 2012
- Individual IVF center's results can be viewed online
- The report is also available for download from the CDC as an Excel spreadsheet
- Go to the CDC site to check any clinic's success rates for 2010 (or earlier)
- On the CDC site, select a state, a clinic, and a year to see that clinic's in vitro success report
Below is what you will see on the CDC site (using our clinic's 2010 report as the example)
Blue arrow - this row showns the number of cycles in an age group
Red arrow - live birth rate per "cycle" (everyone who started meds for IVF is counted as a cycle)
Green arrow -
live birth rate per "retrieval" (everyone who had an egg retrieval is counted)
Orange arrow - live birth rate for all egg donation transfers (this is the best measure of the quality of an IVF clinic)
Below is part of the CDC's national summary table for 2010 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 less than 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 |

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
