Understanding IVF success rates

Most people arrive here with one question: what are my chances? IVF success rates can help you compare clinics, but they don't tell the whole story. Understanding what those numbers represent can help you make a more informed decision about your care.

Ask "out of what?" first

Every IVF success rate is a fraction, and what gets counted matters just as much as the percentage itself.

The same clinic can report different success rates depending on which patients or treatment cycles are included. Looking at results across all embryo transfers will show the highest percentage of live births because it includes all transfers per intended egg retrieval. You can view this statistic by clicking the ‘Detailed Report’ view within a clinic’s Success Rates page on SART. Before comparing percentages, ask what the number is measuring—if that isn't clear, the percentage doesn't tell the whole story.

We report live births

A positive pregnancy test isn't the finish line. Live birth rates provide a more meaningful measure of IVF success because they reflect the outcome that matters most to patients.

Age matters, but isn’t everything

IVF success rates naturally vary by age because egg quality changes over time. Comparing results within your age group provides a more accurate picture of what to expect.

One cycle isn't the whole picture

Most published success rates reflect a single IVF cycle. Looking at cumulative success rates across multiple cycles can provide a more complete understanding of your chances of success.

How to compare IVF success rates

A clinic's success rates reflect the patients it treats. Clinics that care for more complex fertility cases may report different results than those treating patients with more straightforward diagnoses.

At Everleap Fertility, every patient comes to us with a different history, diagnosis and path to care. These individual factors can influence treatment outcomes, which is why success rates are most helpful when viewed in context.

When comparing clinics, look beyond a single success rate. Consider factors such as age, diagnosis and treatment type, and review results alongside national data when comparable information is available.

Where our numbers are published

We report our IVF success rates through the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), where patients can review standardized, independently reported data. One thing to know before you look: SART publishes both preliminary and final results. Preliminary reports don't capture every treatment outcome, while final reports provide a more complete picture. They're worth the extra click.

Your success story is personal

A national average describes thousands of people. Your evaluation is about you. After your evaluation, your physician can consider factors such as your ovarian reserve, diagnosis, age, and medical history to help you understand your individual chances of success. That's something this page can’t provide.
