Success rates at every age
Each clinic's CDC live-birth rate per intended egg retrieval, for patients using their own eggs, in each age band (2022 data). Read the row for your age. A dash means the CDC reported no rate for that clinic at that age.
For patients under 35, Blue Sky Fertility reported a live-birth rate of 49.5% per intended egg retrieval and Center for Advanced Reproductive Medicine reported 49.8% (CDC data for 2022). Blue Sky Fertility reported the higher rate for patients 38 to 40, and Center for Advanced Reproductive Medicine for patients under 35, 35 to 37 and over 40.
These are averages for each clinic's own patients, who differ in age, diagnosis and treatment history, so a higher rate can reflect who a clinic treats as much as how well it treats them. The CDC's own guidance says "comparisons between clinics should be made with caution", because clinics "have different patient populations or ART treatment methods".
