Clear Understanding!! |
How to find out the right IVF Centre? What is an acceptable success rate in IVF? What is problem birthrate per embryo transfer? How many time a couple should attempts IVF?
What is probable birthrate per embryo transfer? How many time a couple should attempts IVF? |
| Every couple feels, there is 100% result following INF. This is not the reality at all. PREGNANCY is THE SUCCESS for IVF. Statistics referring to “pregnancy” may see just a positive are delivered with a viable baby are called live birth rate and this is the real success!! Increasingly a concern is also growing how to avoid multiple live birth pregnancy rates. Indians, do not mind twins with IVF. Twins are born in 35 % of pregnancies and triplets in 5 %, as compared to twins’ rate of 1 in 80 birth and triple 1 in every 6,000 pregnancies in normal population. |
| IVF Live Birth success rates statistics: it is of course 100% for the couple who get a live baby after IVF, and for the one who fails, its 0% each IVF treatment cycle is A Bit Like Taking A Gamble- i.e “one need to hope for the best and prepare for the worst”! |
| IVF and ICSI should not be considered to be a sure shot affair. Patients should plan mentally at least to go through at least 3 cycle to give themselves a fair chance of live birth rate. With 3 treatment cycles, the chance of getting pregnant (the cumulative conception rate) is about 80% to 85% WHAT THIS MEANS is that even though the chance of getting pregnant in a single IVF –ICSI cycle may never be more than 405, over 3 treatment cycle, the chances increases to good 80% to 85%. |
| Let us assume the pregnancy rate for IVF or IVF – ICSI cycle at a centre is 30%. This is least expected from good centre. If 10 patients start an IVF cycle, 3 will get pregnant. Leaving 7 patients. If these 7 do another IVF cycle, 2 will be pregnant . two more will get pregnant in 3rd cycle; so that 10 patients who started, minimum 7 or 8 will pregnant in three attempts. This is because the chance of getting pregnant in the next IVF cycle do not decrease just because a pregnancy has not occurred in the previous IVF cycle. So that the best would be to keep on trying for three cycles. |
| No one can go on and on, till they hit the jackpot! One has to set a limit somewhere, and the decision when to stop is something which only the couple can make for themselves. It is strongly recommended that no one should undertake one- shot attempt. It a couple can only afford one treatment cycle, IVF is probably not the right procedure for them. After all, in good IVF programmes – there is only two – in- five chance that IVF will be successful. There will not be tremendous let down and set back if it fails. So do not try single IVF – ICSI cycle. |
| Our group believes that there is just over 75% chance if they undergo IVF three times using their own eggs; and an 85% chance with donor eggs (provider is under 39 years), and the embryo recipient has a normal uterine cavity and a proper hormonal environment. After more that 6 failed IVF cycle, the chance for a pregnancy with IVF is negligible |
