[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if it's the 3-1 share that lowers their statistics so much.  [/b]

Unfortunately price matters, and with their shared risk and shared help, there aren't many clinics that can beat the price.

How would that lower their stats?  From what I understand the "best" donors are often in the 1:3 pool.[/quote]

Well, there's a 20% cancellation rate for the third donor.  That has to lower the live-birth-per-initiated-cycle rate.  There are also just less embryos from which to choose when you divide eggs three ways.

Strangely enough, their success rates seem to be almost the same (some small decreases the more couples that share a donor), on their website, for the 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3.

I'm not a statitician, so I'm just pontificating.

I wonder what makes other clinics so much more successful.  SG is at the national average, but it's supposed to be so "stellar" I'd think it could have beat the average by at least a little bit.
