RMA Pregnancy Rates

The CDC (Center for Disease Control) recently released the latest national and clinic specific IVF results.  As a new practice our pregnancy rates recorded by the CDC will not be available until 2008.   Below we have provided our most recent CLINICAL pregnancy rates.

Clinical Pregnancy ⁽¹⁾ Rates
For the period of Jan 1st, 2007 to March 31st, 2008
These statistics represent outcomes for patients who have undergone embryo transfer. The percentages are calculated by dividing the number of women who achieved a clinical pregnancy (numerator) by the total number who underwent a transfer (denominator) from Jan 1st, 2007 to  March 31st, 2007. Please keep in mind that a variety of individual factors may increase or decrease your likelihood of having a baby.

In Vitro Fertilization
Includes all fresh embryo and blastocyst transfers.

IVF	Age < 35	35-37	38-40	41-42
Clinical Pregnancy Rate	56.6%	40.7%	48.4%	25.0%
	47/83	22/54	15/31	3/12

In Vitro Fertilization - First Cycle Outcomes
Includes all fresh embryo and blastocyst transfers for patients on their first IVF cycle.

First Cycle IVF	Age < 35	35-37	38-40	41-42
Clinical Pregnancy Rate	58.3%	53.6%	47.1%	33.3%
	35/60	15/28	8/17	1/3

In Vitro Fertilization with ICSI
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) is a procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into an egg to overcome problems with sperm function or motility. ICSI is also a measure of lab efficiency as patients less than 38 years of age with male factor as the primary diagnosis should have the best outcomes, however included in this group are men requiring surgical sperm extraction.  These men with severe male factor will have lower overall pregnancy rates when compared to age matched controls.

IVF with ICSI	Age < 38
Clinical Pregnancy Rate	44.7%
	38/85

Rates of Triplet Pregnancies
Multiple pregnancies are confirmed by the number of fetal heartbeats on ultrasound. At RMAMI we strive to have the lowest triplet rate possible as this represents a complex pregnancy and delivery for both the mother and babies. We are very proud to have excellent pregnancy rates with very low triplet rates. This is accomplished by having an excellent lab and a personal conference with each patient on the day of embryo transfer. We are proud to say that we have no quadruplets.

Triplet Pregnancies	Age < 38	> 38
% of pregnant patients with triplets	0.7%	0%
	1/127	0/50

Anonymous Egg Donors
Oocytes are retrieved from anonymous egg donors between the ages of 21 and 31 years old.   The eggs are then fertilized with the recipient's partner's sperm.  The resulting embryos are transferred into the recipient's uterus.

Anonymous Egg Donor	All Recipient Ages
Clinical Pregnancy Rate	73.3%
	11/15
