How successful is IVF?
In general, with one cycle of IVF, the pregnancy rate is around 50% in good clinics. However, the cumulative pregnancy rate after 3 cycles of IVF is very good.
Factors that affect IVF Success
IVF is a multi-step process and couples who are about to undergo IVF have concerns regarding their individual chances of success and here are some factors which influence the success rates!
AGE
Female age is the most important factor which influences the success rates of IVF. Female age is an important factor in influencing the chances of natural conception or following any fertility treatment be it IUI or IVF. Though the success rates with IVF is high in women less than 35 years of age, even as women ages the maximum chance of conception is only after following IVF treatment compared to other treatments.
INDICATION FOR IVF
Certain indications such as male factor, anovulation (PCOS), tubal disease and endometriosis have better rates of success with IVF compared to couples undergoing IVF due to unexplained subfertility, problems in both partners such as low sperm count and poor egg reserve, a prolonged period of subfertility and genital tuberculosis.
PREVIOUS PREGNANCIES
Women with a history of previous pregnancies, either a miscarriage or ectopic or a live birth in the past seem to have better chances than others indicating successful implantation.
OVARIAN RESERVE
Women with a good number of eggs indicating good ovarian reserve have a better chance of pregnancy compared to others.
CHOICE OF CLINIC
One of the most important factor determining the success rate of IVF is the choice of the IVF center where you choose to have treatment. Proper research with regards to the expertise of the doctor performing IVF and their credentials and training matter most. In addition, the IVF lab has to be state-of-the-art and the expertise of the scientists who perform the procedure is also equally important. Evidence-based treatments along with quality control and witnessing procedures go a long way in making the difference in pregnancy rates between an average clinic and the best one.
