Success Rates

Giving you the best chance of starting your family

When you first meet your Fertility Specialist, they will discuss with you the factors that will influence your chances of a successful pregnancy in your first cycle of IVF.

While it’s reassuring to know that our clinic has one of the highest success rates in the world for assisted conception, your age and any relevant medical conditions will have the biggest impact on your individual success rate.

We believe in being honest and upfront about this, rather than glossing over polished statistics. You can feel confident that you’re coming to one of the best fertility clinics in Australia, with access to the latest technology if you need it. Your specialist will develop a treatment plan that will give you the best chance of success, based on your circumstances.

Here are the facts…

This graph shows the fresh embryo transfer clinical pregnancy outcomes in 2010 for Hunter IVF.  It does not include any additional frozen embryo transfers that may have eventuated from these first fresh cycles.

These pregnancy rates are for the first IVF cycle. We know that with every subsequent cycle, your chance of success will increase.

In fact, 90% of our patients give birth to a healthy baby within three IVF treatment cycles or less. However, we want to give you the best chance of success in your first cycle, because as you can see your age will play an important part in determining the outcome.

Determining your chance of success

At your first appointment, your Fertility Specialist will give you an indication of how likely it is you’ll conceive with recommended fertility treatments. They may need you to have some diagnostic tests first to determine any significant issues.

You individual success rate could vary between 5% and 50%, depending on:

  • your age,
  • your partner’s age,
  • how long you have been trying to conceive
  • whether either of you already has a child, and
  • if you have had any previous treatment for infertility.

A successful advantage

Many patients come to us because they want to ensure they have the best possible chance of starting their family. The collective knowledge of our specialist team is shared within our network, so we can develop most effective and least invasive treatment for your situation.
