Encouraging results in different age groups

Pregnancy and birth rates are hallmarks of a fertility clinic's success. However, these depend on various factors, particularly the age of the patients. The older a woman is, the lower her chances of becoming pregnant. At our clinic, however, we achieve very good results even with increasing age. Our pregnancy rate for IVF/ICSI is significantly higher than the age-dependent pregnancy rate in the natural cycle.

Pregnancy rates/therapy cycle (IVF/ICSI) 2023/24

The figures show our pregnancy rates in 2023/24 by age group over three treatment cycles. Further subsequent cycles only lead to a limited increase in success rates. In order to avoid multiple pregnancies, only one embryo (‘single embryo transfer’, SET) was transferred as a matter of principle. This made it possible to largely avoid multiple pregnancies. Since 2021, the developmental potential of the embryos has been assessed in the embryoscope using artificial intelligence (AI).

Birth rates/treatment cycle (IVF/ICSI) 2023/24

Ultimately, the birth rate per embryo transfer (SET) is the decisive criterion for the success of a treatment. Here, too, the age of the patient is crucial. While miscarriages occur in less than 15% of pregnancies in younger patients, this becomes significantly more common with increasing age. This has a significant impact on the chances of giving birth. In patients over 40, the miscarriage rate rises to over 50% per pregnancy. In most cases, chromosomal changes in the embryo are responsible for this with increasing age. Similar to pregnancy rates, there is no significant increase in birth rates after three treatment cycles in subsequent cycles.
