COMPARING INFERTILITY PROGRAMS

While outcome statistics from IVF are the only factors that many individuals use in choosing a program; many other variables should be considered as well.

Does the program offer "low tech" treatments before going directly to IVF? Many couples can conceive by other means such as surgery, ovulation stimulation and intrauterine insemination.
Testing and treating for autoimmune disorders and utilizing the patient's own endometrial cells to help the embryos grow (co-culture) are new fertility enhancements that may help you succeed

The ability to achieve a viable pregnancy with IVF (ART), or any fertility treatment is dependent on many factors. Some of the most critical are:

The woman's age
Her ovarian reserve (how many good quality eggs remain in her ovaries); often measured by her FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) level, estradiol level, results of a clomiphene challenge test, Inhibin-B level, and ultrasound appearance of the ovaries.

OTHER FACTORS TO CONSIDER

When using ART statistics to compare infertility programs, remember that pregnancy rates are affected by patient mix, guidelines for patient acceptance or rejection and cycle cancellation policies, among other things. Programs accepting women over age 41 or those couples with a history of multiple prior ART failures may experience lower pregnancy rates.

Some programs will choose to exclude couples from their IVF programs because of age or poor results from previous efforts at conceiving because they experience lower pregnancy rates. However, At the Texas Center for Reproductive Health, we believe our high quality of clinical care allows us to achieve success while treating some of the most difficult infertility cases.

Consider your age, the cause of your inability to have a child and other personal factors as you review ART program statistics. Also remember that your chance for individual success is best determined by an experienced reproductive specialist.

"A comparison of clinical success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches and entrance criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic."
