How Success Rates Are Advertised
By the Federal Trade Commission
This figure tells how many births occurred in relation to the number of egg-stimulation procedures performed. Experts say this figure is the most meaningful overall success-rate statistic, because it includes live births as well as all procedures performed, including those that failed.
Live Birth Rate Per Embryo Transfer
This figure refers to the percentage of births from all embryo transfer procedures. Although this number reflects live births – which may be the most meaningful figure – it does not include those instances where the attempt at egg stimulation, egg retrieval and fertilization did not succeed. Pregnancy Rate Per Attempted Egg Stimulation
This rate refers to the number of clinical pregnancies resulting from all egg-stimulation attempts. This figure does not tell you whether these pregnancies resulted in live births, but does include the women who received multiple treatments. Pregnancy Rate Per Woman in the Program
This rate refers to how many clinical pregnancies occurred per woman in the program. Excluded from this figure are the number of births and the number of times an individual woman may have undergone the procedure prior to achieving a pregnancy. Pregnancy Rate Per Attempted Egg Retrieval
This rate reflects the number of clinical pregnancies resulting from all egg-retrieval attempts. This statistic does not tell whether these pregnancies resulted in live births and does not include instances where egg stimulation did not produce an egg to retrieve. Pregnancy Rate Per Embryo Transfer
