Success
Rates
We report our success rates annually to the Society of Assisted
Reproduction as well as the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). These
agencies publish figures that do not represent the most current
information.
According
to CDC, a comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful
because patient medical characteristics and treatment approaches
vary from clinic to clinic. CDC also notes that a woman’s
chances of achieving pregnancy and live birth by using ART are influenced
by many factors, some of which (e.g., maternal age, causes of infertility,
diagnosis, previous treatment failure) are outside a clinic’s
control. Results are published as average chances based on patient
age and do not necessarily apply to a particular individual or couple.
To inform our patients accurately, we furnish our own success rate
information, with
up-to-date figures. Our confidence in our physicians and clinical
support staff, our procedures, our equipment, and our laboratories
allows us to treat patients with more challenging issues on the
path to parenthood.
