Success rates and odds

Published success rates are true and still easy to misread. These answers explain what the numbers count and how to apply them to your own situation.

What are IVF success rates by age?
Using a woman's own eggs, the chance of a live birth per embryo transfer in the UK is roughly 30–35% under 35, around 25% at 35–37, around 18% at 38–39, around 10% at 40–42, and under 5% over 42. Donor egg cycles sit around 30–35% regardless of the recipient's age, because the odds follow the age of the eggs rather than the person carrying them.

All of this, in order, in one guide

The Simple IVF Guide walks you through a full cycle in plain English: the appointments, the injections, the lab calls, the money and the waiting.
