IVF Pregnancy Outcomes And Statistics
- The Wesley Monash IVF unit is committed to improving clinical pregnancy rates and take home baby rates, but also reducing the risk of miscarriage and complications associated with multiple births by transferring fewer embryos.
- Pregnancy rates for IVF and related treatments are dependent to a certain degree on the individual couple's cause of infertility, their age and average number of embryos transferred.
- Pregnancy rates per egg pick-up (EPU) will also be less than pregnancy rates per embryo transfer (ET).
- Pregnancy rates per embryo transfer are a more accurate indication of success of treatment as certainly in our unit 16.4% of oocyte retrievals do not result in an embryo transfer and all the embryos are frozen because of the risk of Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome. This is due to the unit not proceeding with transfer to minimise the risk of hyperstimulation (which can be a life threatening complication of IVF). Occasionally the embryos are also frozen if the endometrium (inner lining) of the uterus does not appear favourable on ultrasound scan.
- The unit has a very successful freezing program and patients are in no way disadvantaged by undertaking future frozen embryo transfer cycles.
- The pregnancy rates for 2008 for the current accredited clinicians are detailed below.
- RTAC has emphasized that units must supply statistically meaningful data which must include at least 12 months of experience and include numbers of cycles and pregnancies not just percentages.
- Wesley Monash IVF pregnancy rates have consistently been above the national average supplied by NPSU.
| Wesley IVF 2008 Results |
Number of Transfers |
Clinical Pregnancies | Pregnancy Rate/Embryo Transfer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard IVF & ICSI (All ages) | 259 | 91 | 35.1% |
| < 35 yrs | 116 | 50 | 43% |
| 35 - 39 yrs | 98 | 30 | 30.6% |
| > 40 | 45 | 11 | 24.4% |
| FET | 323 | 120 | 37.2% |
It is important to realize that the average conception rate for normally fertile couples is only 21% per month; and by the age of 40, it is only 5%.
