As you will see below, we are proud to report success rates well above the national average, making us a leader in the field of infertility treatment. These success rates are the combination of many factors, including physician & embryologist skills, latest technology, and high laboratory standards.

CDC Reporting:

Fertility clinics are required to report their IVF success rates to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in accordance with the Fertility Clinic Success Rates Act. At this time, the most recent preliminary success rates available on the CDC website are for the year 2005. Advanced Fertility Care is a new center committed to offering its patients outstanding pregnancy rates and outcomes. We began reporting cycle outcomes to the CDC in 2006, so please look forward to seeing our success rates published on the CDC website in late 2008.

Important Note:

A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics and treatment approaches vary from clinic to clinic.


*This data is based on 146 patients performed at this facility and includes male factor with ICSI.
