IVF cycles with own eggs (all ages)

For patients under 35, Family Fertility Center reported a live-birth rate of 39.2% per intended egg retrieval and HART Fertility Clinic reported 52.7% (CDC data for 2022). Family Fertility Center reported the higher rate for patients 35 to 37, and HART Fertility Clinic for patients under 35, 38 to 40 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". See how to read IVF success rates.

A new patient's chance of a baby

For patients new to IVF (no earlier ART cycles) using their own eggs: the share who had a baby after all their egg retrievals, counting embryo transfers within a year of each retrieval. It adds up every transfer, so it runs higher than the per-retrieval rates above.

How far apart are Family Fertility Center and HART Fertility Clinic?

Family Fertility Center is in Houston, TX and HART Fertility Clinic is in The Woodlands, TX, about 34 miles apart. Both are in the Houston metro area.

Does insurance cover IVF at Family Fertility Center and HART Fertility Clinic?

Only if your employer chose it: Texas insurers must offer IVF coverage, but plans do not have to include it. Each employer decides whether its group plan includes the IVF benefit, and the law sets conditions for it, such as a five-year history of infertility or a qualifying diagnosis. Fertility preservation: Plans must cover fertility preservation (collecting eggs, sperm or ovarian tissue, not storage) before cancer treatment that may cause infertility. State insurance laws reach only fully-insured plans, and 67% of covered US workers are in self-funded employer plans, which set their own fertility benefits whatever the state requires. About 50% of employers with 500 or more workers now cover IVF.
