Own Eggs - Fresh - Success Rates

What are the success rates in the USA when using your own eggs?
How does the age of the recipient mother affect success rates?
What if the mother had frozen her eggs at a younger age and used those frozen eggs?

The success rates of IVF using own eggs in the United States vary depending on the age of the woman. In general, younger women have higher success rates than older women. The average success rate for IVF using own eggs in the United States is about 40%.

The age of the woman is the most crucial factor affecting success rates. Women who are younger than 35 years old have the highest success rates. Women who are older than 35 years old still have a chance of success, but their chances are lower.

Here is a table of the average success rates for IVF using own eggs in the United States, broken down by the age of the woman:

Age of Woman  Success Rate
35 40%
35-37 35%
38-40 30%
41-42 25%
43-44 20%
45-46 15%
47-48 10%

It is important to note that these are just averages and that the actual success rate for any individual cycle may be higher or lower. There are a number of factors that can affect the success rate of IVF, including the quality of the eggs, the quality of the uterus, and the skill of the fertility specialist.

If you are considering IVF using your own eggs, it is important to talk to a fertility specialist about your individual chances of success.

Own Eggs – frozen at a younger age Success rates

If the mother had frozen her eggs at a younger age and used those frozen eggs, her chances of success would be higher than if she had used her own eggs at an older age. This is because the eggs would be younger and have a higher potential to develop into embryos.

A study published in the journal Fertility and Sterility in 2017 found that the live birth rate for IVF using frozen eggs from women under the age of 35 was 47%. This is significantly higher than the live birth rate for IVF using fresh eggs from women under the age of 35, which is 40%.

The study also found that the implantation rate (the percentage of embryos that implant in the uterus) was higher for frozen eggs (35%) than for fresh eggs (30%).

There are a few reasons why frozen eggs may have a higher success rate than fresh eggs. First, frozen eggs are not exposed to the aging process, which can damage the eggs and reduce their chances of success. Second, frozen eggs can be fertilized immediately after thawing, while fresh eggs must be fertilized within 12-24 hours of retrieval. This added step can increase the risk of damage to the eggs.

If you are considering IVF using frozen eggs, it is important to talk to a fertility specialist about the pros and cons of this approach. The fertility specialist can help you make the best decision for your individual situation.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing between fresh and frozen eggs:

Cost

Frozen egg cycles are typically more expensive than fresh egg cycles.

Timing

Frozen egg cycles can be done at any time, while fresh egg cycles are typically done during a woman's menstrual cycle.

Flexibility

Frozen egg cycles are more flexible than fresh egg cycles. For example, you can choose to have your egg retrieval on a date that is convenient for you.

Success rates

Frozen egg cycles have higher success rates than fresh egg cycles.

The decision of whether to use fresh or frozen eggs is a personal one. You should talk to your fertility specialist about your individual situation and make the decision that is best for you.

Donor Eggs Success rates

What are the success rates in the USA when using donor eggs?
How does the age of the recipient mother and the donor affect success rates?
What if frozen vitrified eggs are used with the latest techniques versus fresh eggs?

The success rates of egg donation in the United States vary depending on the age of the donor and the recipient mother. In general, younger donors have higher success rates than older donors. The average success rate for egg donation in the United States is about 50%.

The age of the donor is the most crucial factor affecting success rates. Donors who are younger than 35 years old have the highest success rates. Donors who are older than 35 years old still have a chance of success, but their chances are lower.

The age of the recipient mother also affects success rates. Recipients who are younger than 40 years old have the highest success rates. Recipients who are older than 40 years old still have a chance of success, but their chances are lower.

Here is a table of the average success rates for egg donation in the United States, broken down by the age of the donor and the recipient mother:
Age of Donor Age of Recipient Success Rate
< 35 < 40 50%
< 35 40-44 40%
< 35 >44 30%
35-37 <40 45%
35-37 40-44 35%
35-37 >44 25%
> 37 <40 40%
> 37 40-44 30%
> 37 > 44 20%

The actual rate for any individual cycle may be higher or lower. There are a number of factors that can affect the success rate of egg donation, including the quality of the donor eggs, the quality of the recipient uterus, and the skill of the fertility specialist.
