Live births per intended egg retrieval (patients using their own eggs)
| Patient age | Egg retrievals started | This clinic | US average* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under 35 | 29 | 41.4% | 49.7% |
| 35–37 | 22 | 31.8% | 36.3% |
| 38–40 | 29 | 24.1% | 23.1% |
| Over 40 | 16 | Too few cycles | 7.7% |
This is the CDC's main measure: the percentage of intended egg retrievals that led to a live birth, counting all embryo transfers from that retrieval. *US average is the average across all reporting clinics, weighted by number of retrievals. Results depend heavily on age and diagnosis, so use them as a starting point and ask the clinic for its latest figures.
