Pregnancy success rates
The table below reflects the percentage of pregnancies achieved based on all frozen embryo transfers performed. Frozen embryos are embryos formed when eggs are fertilized in a laboratory during in vitro fertilization (IVF), then preserved at very low temperatures for future use.
| Age | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| < 30 | 67% | 78% | 60% | 67% |
| 30 – 34 | 55% | 62% | 64% | 64% |
| 35 – 39 | 51% | 59% | 56% | 70% |
| 40 – 44 | 36% | 38% | 45% | 28% |
| < 40 | 53% | 61% | 59% | 68% |
| ≥ 45 | 7.7% | 18% | 6% | 0% |
| Total | 46% | 54% | 51% | 51% |
Live birth success rates
The table below presents the percentage of live birth rates based on all frozen embryo transfers performed.
| Age | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| < 30 | 40% | 78% | 60% |
| 30 – 34 | 47% | 46% | 55% |
| 35 – 39 | 46% | 48% | 41% |
| 40 – 44 | 27% | 23% | 24% |
| < 40 | 46% | 48% | 46% |
| ≥ 45 | NA | NA | NA |
| Total | 39% | 41% | 38% |
Note:
- Your success rate can be affected by your age, weight and cause of infertility. Individual results will vary with individual circumstances.
- Not every treatment cycle will result in an egg retrieval, an embryo transfer or embryo / blastocyst vitrification.
- For more information about understanding how to interpret IVF success rates, you can refer to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).
Success rates of complicated IVF cases
Many of the cases we treat are complicated, and our consistent success rates are a testament to our expertise in fertility treatment.
- 32% of our cycles are performed on women with low ovarian or egg reserves (between 2022 to 2024)
- 56% of our treatment cycles are performed on patients who are either low responders or aged 40 and above (between 2022 to 2024)
Optimising IVF success rates
We aim to increase the chances of IVF success by:
- Adopting and constantly familiarising ourselves with technologies and protocols while upholding stringent quality control and laboratory standards
- Attracting skilled and experienced fertility specialists into our team, and continuously improving our services for better clinical outcomes
- Partnering with experts in the assisted reproductive technology (ART) field, such as Dr Mashashige Kuwayama, the head of Tokyo-based Repro-support Medical Research Centre and the inventor of the renowned Cryotec/Cyrotop method.
Success rate of freezing embryos
Mount Elizabeth Fertility Centre has been vitrifying (freezing) embryos since 2007. This technique allows for even safer and more efficient vitrification of eggs and embryos at a 100% survival rate.
Patient story: Sheryl's IVF journey
When a fertility check revealed that natural conception was unlikely, Sheryl and her husband turned to IVF to start their family.
In this video, Sheryl shares her journey with Dr Anupriya Agarwal and the Mount Elizabeth Fertility Centre team, from preparing for IVF and receiving embryo updates to welcoming her son at Mount Elizabeth Hospital.
Individual experiences and outcomes may vary.
Advanced IVF technologies at Mount Elizabeth
The major advances in IVF technology include:
- Advanced blastocyst culture system and transfer
- Double stimulation protocol
- Blastocyst vitrification (freeze-all IVF)
These methods have improved the number of live births in each stimulated IVF cycle, and have been routinely practised at Mount Elizabeth Fertility Centre since 2002.
