One of the most confusing issues related to reproductive technology is the interpretation of success rates. This confusion stems from the fact that success rates vary depending upon the reason for infertility and the ages of patients being treated for infertility issues.
Another area of potential confusion is the way the pregnancy rate is reported. For example, pregnancy rates can be reported by cycle, by patient or by procedure, all of which give different results.
A comparison of fertility center success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches and entrance criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic.
