I got a 7-8 percent chance but for some reason thought that was good and went for four stressful and hopeful rounds of own egg IVF. No surprise, none of it worked. So then I did de and now have two kids and ask myself why I didn’t do it straight away.

SGF gave me a 43% chance of live birth after 1 cycle, and 77% chance 3 cycles at age 34 with DOR. Did my 3 cycles, then had five miscarriages on my own after stopping treatment. Never had success between three clinics for IVF, second opinions, and RPL.

My first transfer, which failed, they didn’t say. However, at my 2nd transfer (successful) my doctor told me she believed there was at least a 60% chance of a live birth.

Yes, and larger clinics will have better control on their statistics because they have bigger datasets to work with, which can be a proprietary advantage in itself. We were given odds of 30% likelihood of success, and we were successful. Sometimes I wonder if clinics actually downplay the odds, so as not to give false hopes and to make sure the patient is going into IVF clear-eyed on the outcomes.

This was a decade ago. Started off at Dominion and they were very optimistic. 3 failed IUI later, I switched to SG since their IVF stats appeared better. They were also very optimistic, but 2 rounds of IVF had horrible results- low # retrieved and nothing to transfer- and DE was encouraged, that my eggs had some inherit problem. I was 30. I loaded up on supplements/well being and ended up getting pregnant naturally just a couple months later, and again several years later- both successful and healthy.

60% given our age and here we are two years later with no baby.

My boss has a less than 10% change given she and severe infertility and they had twins within a year or steering IVF.

My doctor at Shady Grove showed me a chart of success rates at certain ages. This was for IUI. I think it compared timed intercourse, unmedicated IUI, and medicated IUI.

Wow. Some of you have incredible stories! I'm so happy for you.

Yes. I was given a variety of detailed statistics based on age, approach, etc...

They were realistic numbers that were hard to hear and didn't always make decisions easier, but I appreciated the directness.

I was with Dr. Abbasi at CFA. Loved her.
