When it comes to IVF, there is no agreed standard for reporting "success". Sometimes IVF success rates are quoted per complete IVF collection and treatment cycle. A full IVF collection and treatment cycle can involve multiple transfers of embryos collected from the one egg collection. Success rates measured this way will therefore naturally be higher than success rates measured per embryo transfer

At Malar, we most often measure IVF success rates as clinical pregnancies (a pregnancy confirmed by a blood test and ultrasound scan, usually at around 6-8 weeks) per embryo transfer. Sadly, not every pregnancy will carry to a live birth, so we quote live births per embryo transfer as well as clinical pregnancies per transfer. We report our success rates per embryo transfer as we want to give you the most realistic understanding of your chance of success following each individual embryo transfer.
