Success Rates Demystified – What the Numbers Mean for Your Family

When embarking on your surrogacy journey, the first thing you see on the site of each agency or clinic is a success rate — a number, typically. But what does it actually signify?

The reality is that the rates of success are extremely diverse depending on age, quality of the embryo, surrogate health, and the medical skill level of the fertility team. With knowledge of which factors impact such numbers, aspiring parents can form realistic expectations and find the best way to begin a family.

At Surrogacy4All, all the success rates offered are supported by real, doctor-monitored results — not hype about sales. Our focus is candor, accuracy, and your family’s long-term success.

What “Success Rate” Actually Measures

For IVF, “success rate” usually refers to the percentage of live births following embryo transfers. Pregnancy rates are also reported by clinics, which sound better but are not necessarily resultant live births or live pregnancies.

Here, the language splits:

• Clinical Pregnancy Rate: The number of confirmed pregnancies following embryo transfer.
• Implantation Rate: The percentage of embryos that successfully implant in the uterus.
• Live Birth Rate: The percentage of successful pregnancies that result in live births. 

Most important statistic for intended parents — because it’s the bottom line: bringing home a healthy baby.

Factors That Influence Success

Every two surrogacy experiences are different. There are many factors that come into play in determining success, such as:

1. Age of the Egg Donor

Younger donors — typically below 32 years of age — have healthier eggs. Donor egg age is the greatest predictor of IVF and surrogacy success.

2. Embryo Quality

PGT-A tested (genetically screened) embryos are more likely to implant successfully. Surrogacy4All’s $15,000 Guaranteed Blastocyst Program thus focuses on genetically tested, high-quality embryos.

3. Surrogate’s Uterine Health

Uterus health is essential to implantation. Surrogates are medically screened to ensure that they meet all of the clinical criteria prior to being matched with intended parents.

4. Experience of the Medical Team

Surrogacy4All, being a doctor-led surrogacy program, ensures that all medical procedures — from ovarian stimulation to embryo transfer — are done by fertility specialists. This ensures much higher success rates.

Common Misconceptions About Success Rates

“A higher success rate means a better clinic.”

No, not quite. Doctoring clinics only take the simple cases or reject tough patients. Honesty is more valuable than truth.

“One failed cycle means it’s not working.”

Even with ideal circumstances, IVF success is never a first-time guarantee. It’s something that may take a few transfers to be successful.

“Success rates are the same everywhere.”

They are not. Variations in lab equipment, embryo grading, and medical supervision all affect outcomes.

At Surrogacy4All, every cycle is tracked carefully, customized protocols are used, and pure data — no massaging statistics, just results backed by actual results.

What Realistic Success Looks Like

With current IVF technology and preimplantation genetic screening, the gestational surrogacy rate of success can be 70–80% or better per transfer when transferring genetically screened embryos.

That figure only applies, however,

• The surrogate is younger than 40 and medically cleared.
• Embryos are PGT-A tested blastocysts.
• The fertility lab is implementing protocols tightly.

These conditions are the norm of care at Surrogacy4All, where every journey of an intended parent is led by board-certified physicians who specialize in evidence-based outcomes.

Why Doctor-Led Oversight Makes a Difference

Most utilize strictly off-site fertility centers and provide median fees. Not Surrogacy4All — all cycles are medically supervised by doctors, ensuring medical accuracy at every turn.

That’s just the beginning, however. With you, it’s not about how well they know the rate of success — it’s having an agency that’s committed to providing them. From embryo testing to transfer mapping, all steps are science-driven for greater success and safety.

How to Evaluate an Agency’s Success Claims

Before looking at any agency’s statistics, ask:

1. Are their statistics independently verified by doctors or clinics?
2. Do they specifically state whether rates are for live birth or pregnancy?
3. Do results get reported on tested embryos or aggregated data?
4. Do they factor in age, location, and medical complexity? 

When an agency is up-front with those criteria, it suggests integrity — and trust in their medical process. That’s why Surrogacy4All shakes the surrogacy world.

Final Words

Survival through surrogacy is not a game of numbers. It’s a game of communication, integrity, and cooperation among intended parents, surrogates, and physicians. A realistic understanding of success rates holds out hope — not empty hope.

We’re evidence-based, not hype-based. With experienced physicians, advanced embryo screening, and open communication, we guide you through the numbers that truly matter — the ones that bring your baby.
