Success Rates
We are proud of our success rates. Particularly because at FPNC, we work with each patient to determine the right treatment, regardless of how it might impact our “numbers.” For our patients, this means:
- We don’t exclude patients based on preliminary test results.
- We often recommend simpler, less expensive treatments for our patients before advanced treatments such as IVF, and many conceive and have a baby without going through IVF.
- We give our patients all relevant treatment options, along with clear information about each option’s possibility of success, instead of directing them to specific treatments based only on prognosis.
- We work as partners with our patients to determine the best treatment route. If patients prefer to first try a particular treatment option, knowing there is a limited chance of success, we will honor that preference assuming it is medically safe and appropriate. Examples include patients who might prefer to try IUI before IVF, or to use their own eggs instead of donor eggs.
We are members and follow the guidelines set forth by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) as well as other organizations setting standards of excellence for fertility treatment.
We report our treatment outcomes to the United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which collects and reports on assisted reproductive technology (ART) clinic success rates. The report is compiled by SART and the CDC.
CDC Assisted Reproductive Technology Reports – ART
outcomes throughout the United States.
SART’s “A
Patient’s Guide To Assisted Reproductive Technologies” – this
guide has helpful information on how to interpret success rates. Per SART recommendations,
we would like you to know that a comparison of clinic success rates may not be
meaningful because patient medical characteristics and treatment approaches may
vary from clinic to clinic.
