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, Kindbody Fertility Institute-St Louis reported a live-birth rate of 42.3% per intended egg retrieval and STL Fertility reported 48.8% (CDC data for 2022).

What each clinic posts on its website
