IVF Success Rates by Treatment
Review cumulative positive pregnancy and live birth data separately for IVF, egg donation, sperm donation and embryo donation.
Our Cumulative Success Rates
On every success page, we show the overall cumulative outcome of the treatment journey first.
Cumulative Success Outcomes by Treatment
We present the four main treatment groups separately with positive pregnancy, live birth and average female age.
Positive Pregnancy and Live Birth Should Be Read Together
You can compare the two separate clinical outcomes for each treatment in the same table.
| Treatment | Cumulative Positive Pregnancy | Cumulative Live Birth | Average Female Age |
|---|---|---|---|
| In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) | 70% | 60% | 35 |
| Egg Donation | 91% | 80% | 42 |
| Sperm Donation | 93% | 76% | 30 |
| Embryo Donation | 92% | 82% | 42 |
Oocyte and Embryo Donation Age 45+
These data are recorded clinical outcomes for a defined oocyte and embryo donation patient group.
Technologies Behind Success
Treatment planning, embryology expertise and laboratory technologies form an integrated process.
Artificial Intelligence
Provides additional data for egg, sperm and embryo assessment.
EmbryoScope+
Supports continuous time-lapse monitoring of embryo development.
VOC Control
Supports controlled management of laboratory air quality.
CAP Accreditation
Supports standardisation of quality and traceability systems.
Chip ID
Supports identity security throughout gamete and embryo processes.
Vitrification
A rapid freezing approach used for oocyte and embryo cryopreservation.
Questions about success rates by treatment
IVF, egg donation, sperm donation and embryo donation have different biological starting conditions, gamete sources and patient profiles. The percentages should therefore not be interpreted as a direct quality ranking.
In the treatment-based cumulative data on this page, IVF shows 70% positive pregnancy and 60% live birth. Positive pregnancy and live birth are different clinical outcomes.
These rates represent the recorded cumulative clinical outcomes of the Egg Donation group. A group outcome is not a guarantee of success for an individual patient.
These percentages separately show the recorded cumulative positive pregnancy and live birth outcomes in the Sperm Donation group.
These percentages represent cumulative positive pregnancy and live birth outcomes in the Embryo Donation group. The results are clinical averages for the patient group.
Age is an important factor that can influence outcomes, particularly in treatments using a patient's own oocytes. Showing the average age helps place the rates in the context of the patient profile from which they were derived.
Treatment-specific cards show individual procedure types, while the main IVF and donor groups reflect combined groupings in the source record system. Percentages from different classifications therefore do not have to be identical.
No. Treatment selection should not be based only on the highest clinical percentage. Age, ovarian reserve, sperm findings, previous treatments, genetic requirements and embryological assessment should be considered together.
Different stages occur between positive pregnancy and live birth, so early pregnancy losses and other biological or clinical factors can create a difference between the two rates.
