Our superior level of experience and commitment to outstanding care have made us not only one of the most trusted infertility clinics in the region, but also one of the most successful. Our pregnancy rates are among the highest in the nation, and we are pleased to share some of our statistics with you. This page contains recent IVF success rates for Northern California Fertility Medical Center, near Sacramento.
The primary success rate in each category is represented by the percentage of clinical pregnancies per embryo transfer procedure (CPR/ET). The clinical pregnancy rate (CPR) is defined by ultrasound identification of a gestational (pregnancy) sac within the uterine cavity and with a visible fetal heartbeat. However, CPRs may not correspond with live birth rates (LBRs), as some patients may miscarry.
It may seem obvious that statistics could be used to compare one program to another when deciding which program to choose. Though statistics provide a degree of reassurance regarding the success of a particular program, it is important to understand that a comparison of clinic success rates may not provide an accurate assessment of the quality of different programs. Because patient medical characteristics and treatment approaches may vary from clinic to clinic, statistical information can easily be skewed by any of a number of factors. For example, very large programs that have a high demand may choose to accept only high quality patients (those who have normally functioning ovaries and whose ovaries produce a minimum number of follicles during stimulation). With these restrictions in place, their outcome statistics may be higher as compared with a smaller program that may be more willing to offer care to patients with more complex problems or a lower likelihood of success.
Patients are also often interested in how statistics can help to predict their particular chance for success. In reality, statistics cannot predict any particular outcome. In a given treatment cycle, the success rate is either 0 percent or 100 percent because the patient will either conceive or she won't. Although it is appropriate and not uncommon for a physician to offer an estimate of the probability of success based on his or her experience, it is important to understand that patients cannot assume a particular rate of success for themselves based on population statistics.
These IVF success rates for our Sacramento-area practice in Northern California are designed to provide potential patients with a sense of the average experience and the probability associated with these procedures. We urge you, however, to remember that each case is unique and that individual success cannot be predetermined by general averages.
