Better your baby-making odds
IVF success is important and getting pregnant in the least amount of cycles is paramount. So, know how your IVF clinic is performing.
Your chance of having a baby comes down to two things – your personal situation (fertility, age, general health) and the baby-making expertise of your doctor and your fertility clinic.
Genea are one of the country’s leading IVF clinics and we’ve been helping people make babies for more than 30 years.
The latest success rate data is now available
At Genea you’ll have a consistently greater chance of success, regardless of age or whether you’re an IVF newbie or seasoned campaigner. That’s what the latest independent data shows. And it’s thanks to a combination of Genea’s world leading fertility technology that you can only find at our clinics and our personalised approach to IVF. See how we compare to the national average across all clinics on four important measures below.
IVF Success rates
Measure 1: Births per complete egg retrieval cycle (including the later transfer of resulting embryos).
This measure provides a patients overall chance of a live birth from any given egg retrieval cycle.
Combined Genea data independently audited and provided directly to Genea after review by NPESU in November 2021. Measure is from completed egg retrieval cycles performed in one year at all Genea Clinics (2018) with follow-up period 2018 to 2019. Age is female age at time the cycle was initiated (based on cycle date). Data includes autologous cycles only (where a woman intended to or used her own eggs).
Measure 2: Births per complete egg retrieval cycle (including the later transfer of resulting embryos) for women having their first ever egg retrieval.
This measure provides a patients overall chance of a live birth from their first ever egg retrieval cycle.
Combined Genea data independently audited and provided directly to Genea after review by NPESU in November 2021. Data is based on a women’s first ever completed egg retrieval cycle performed in one year at all Genea Clinics (2018) with follow-up period 2018 to 2019. Age is female age at time the cycle was initiated (based on cycle date). Data includes autologous cycles only (where a woman intended to or used her own eggs).
Measure 3: Births per individual treatment attempt.
This measure provides a patients chance of a live birth from any given treatment within a cycle with the intention to transfer an embryo (fresh or frozen).
Combined Genea data independently audited and provided directly to Genea after review by NPESU in November 2021. Data is based on the chance of a live birth from each individual treatment attempt involving an intended embryo transfer that was started in one year at all Genea Clinics. Cycles initiated in the most recent calendar year where live birth data is nationally reported (2019). Age is female age at time the cycle was initiated (based on cycle date). Data includes autologous cycles only (where a woman intended to or used her own eggs).
Measure 4: Births per embryo that is transferred.
This measure provides a patient chance of a live birth from any embryo transfer within a cycle (fresh or frozen).
Combined Genea data independently audited and provided directly to Genea after review by NPESU in November 2021. Data is based on a women’s first ever completed egg retrieval cycle performed in one year at all Genea Clinics (2018) with follow-up period 2018 to 2019. Age is female age at time the cycle was initiated (based on cycle date). Data includes autologous cycles only (where a woman intended to or used her own eggs).
All data supplied directly to Genea by Australia and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD) prior to YourIVFSuccess website establishment. Data are combined from all Genea sites for time periods described in each Measure. For individual Genea sites and further breakdown please visit the YourIVFSuccess website or discuss with yourFertility Specialist or the Genea Fertility Advisor.
For further information on understanding success rates, please refer to the Fertility Society of Australia’s “Interpreting pregnancy rates: a consumer guide”.
Age significantly impacts fertility. Very few women over the age of 45 conceive using their own eggs, unless they freeze their eggs or embryos when they are younger, this is represented in the frozen embryo transfer live birth success rates.
Note: Many factors can contribute to the likelihood of achieving a pregnancy or a live birth such as the cause of infertility, lifestyle (such as weight and smoking) and age. It is important to note that unfortunately not every treatment cycle will result in an egg collection, embryo transfer or having embryos to freeze. |
