Pregnancy Rates

Success related to Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) is typically reported as the pregnancy rate. However, the pregnancy rate can be defined broadly to include all positive pregnancy tests, or more narrowly, to include only "clinical pregnancies" - those pregnancies confirmed by ultrasound examination in the first trimester.

The Fertility Clinic reports only clinical pregnancies.

We offer treatment to all patients, including those who might have a lower chance of achieving a pregnancy, providing treatment is medically justifiable and ethically appropriate.

Patients with less complex fertility problems will have a higher chance of success.
