FPNC 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.
Society for Assisted Reproductive TechnologyWe Follow SART Guidelines in Reporting Treatment Outcomes

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.

As a participating member of SART, 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. The CDC Assisted Reproductive Technology Reports are available at http://apps.nccd.cdc.gov/ART/Marquee.aspx.

SART provides helpful information on how to interpret success rates in “A Patient’s Guide to Assisted Reproductive Technologies,” found at http://sart.com/Guide_SuccessRates.html. Per SART recommendations, we would like you to know that a comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient characteristics and treatment approaches may vary clinic to clinic.

FPNC 2007 Live Birth Rates per Embryo Transfer Procedure

Following SART guidelines, our 2007 data shows “Live Birth” rates for all cycles initiated, instead of “Pregnancy” or “Clinical Pregnancy” rates, which do not include live birth results.

2007 Live birth per Embryo Transfer Procedure – Own Eggs (%)
  Patient Age < 35 35-37 38-40 41-42
  Fresh IVF with Own Eggs (n=438) 39% 30% 24% 19%
  Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) with Own Eggs (n=118) 25% 17% 18% 0/3

2007 Live birth per Embryo Transfer Procedure – Donor Eggs (%)
  Fresh IVF with Donor Eggs, All Ages (n=34) 53%

FPNC 2008 Ongoing Pregnancy Rates per Embryo Transfer Procedure

This data showing ongoing pregnancy rates is not final, and has not yet been reported to SART/CDC. Final “Live Birth” rates will be reported when the outcomes for all ongoing pregnancies are known.

2008 Ongoing Pregnancy per Embryo Transfer Procedure – Own Eggs (%)
  Patient Age <35 35-37 38-40 41-42
  Fresh IVF with Own Eggs 47% 26% 23% 27%
  Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) with Own Eggs 30% 36% 32% 22%

2008 Ongoing Pregnancy per Embryo Transfer Procedure – Donor Eggs (%)
  Fresh IVF with Donor Eggs, All Ages 47%
