IVF Success Rates by Age: The Real Data
Success-rate data can be useful, but averages cannot predict an individual cycle. Use the numbers as a starting point for clinic-specific questions.
TL;DR
- •Local-First: Sensitive data is stored on your device by default.
- •Clinic-Aware: Educational content points you back to your care team for medical decisions.
- •Actionable: Use these articles to prepare questions while the free public TestFlight beta is open.
The Hard Numbers
According to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), the average live birth rate per egg retrieval varies dramatically by age:
| Age Group | Live Birth Rate (First Cycle) |
|---|---|
| Under 35 | ~40-50% |
| 35-37 | ~30-40% |
| 38-40 | ~20-30% |
| Over 40 | <10-15% |
Beyond the Numbers
Statistics are averages, not destiny. Your personal success depends on your specific diagnosis, clinic quality, and individual health factors.

Common Questions
Does age really matter that much?
Age is one major factor in IVF outcomes because egg quantity and quality tend to change over time. Donor eggs may change the age-related picture for some patients, but your clinic can explain what applies to your case.
What is a 'cumulative' success rate?
This usually refers to outcomes across more than one retrieval or transfer. The meaning depends on the dataset, so ask whether the number is per retrieval, per transfer, per patient, or across multiple attempts.
