For many women considering IVF it is important to understand what the success rates are. Success of IVF can be measured several ways: pregnancy rates, live birth rates, or singleton pregnancy rates.The data in the table below is based on national 2017 ART data.

Calculate your chances for IVF success using fresh non-donor eggs or embryos, based on 2009 national ART database.
