In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Success Rates- Louisiana IVF Clinic

When choosing an IVF program patients should pay careful attention to IVF success rates. Our Louisiana fertility and IVF clinic consistently reports IVF success rates that surpass the national averages. Most reputable fertility clinics post their IVF success rates on their Web sites, and if they don't have a Net presence, the office staff can usually provide the information. Additionally, our Louisiana Donor Egg Program is available for women who cannot use their own eggs.

National IVF success rates are collected and tabulated by the Society of Assisted Reproductive Technologies and the Centers for disease control. Unfortunately, the last update to this information was in 2005 but it does provide data for comparisons. Please visit the Center for Disease Control Web site for the latest IVF success rates statistics.

As women age, their eggs naturally loose their capacity to fertilize and develop into normal embryos. This is the reason for the decline in success rates for the various age groups and many IVF programs will not admit women over 42. We encourage older women to enter our donor egg program, however, they can still opt to use their own eggs.

Many patients are interested in infertility treatment costs. We include information on fertility treatment costs and our IVF Refund Program, designed to help offset the cost of IVF treatments.
