To know a clinic's real IVF success rate, see their "graduation rate"
Pregnancy rate is often used as a measure of IVF success. However, for a more accurate understanding of the chance of a successful live birth, it is better to consider the percentage of individuals who have successfully graduated from the clinic and were transferred to maternity care.
While fertility clinics' pregnancy or graduation rates are defined by their own standards, general definitions are as follows:
- Graduation: Sustaining the pregnancy for a specific duration specified by the clinic (commonly around 8 weeks). Once the patient achieves this milestone, they can transition to a maternity hospital.
- Pregnancy: A significant increase in blood hCG levels or the identification of a gestational sac after embryo implantation.
