Probability Scenarios:
The probability of success with ivf treatments depends upon a number of factors like the age of the woman, the cause of infertility, the quality of egg
retrieved and the quality of the semen.
The national averages (2005) show the following probabilities:
|
Female age
|
Live birth rate per retrieval
|
|
< 35
|
40.5%
|
|
35-37
|
33.3%
|
|
38-40
|
23.1%
|
|
> 40
|
13.1%

The success rate to have a baby hugely depends upon
the type of treatment e.g. IVF treatment or donor egg etc.
You will see in the
table below, that after a certain age, the probability of success of having a
baby is greatly increased with a donor.
