For patients under 35, Fertility Center, LLC reported a live-birth rate of 48.6% per intended egg retrieval and Tennessee Reproductive Medicine reported 45.7% (CDC data for 2022). Fertility Center, LLC reported the higher rate for patients under 35, 35 to 37 and over 40, and Tennessee Reproductive Medicine for patients 38 to 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".

Cost

What each clinic posts on its website

Each amount is the clinic's own posted figure, linked to the page it was read on, with what it covers. The two clinics' amounts rarely cover the same services, so we never call one cheaper from posted prices: read the terms, then ask both for an itemized quote.
