Factors affecting IVF success rates

IVF success rate depends on a number of variables, some of which you have little control over and some of which can be improved by making healthy lifestyle changes. Following is a detailed description of the contributing aspects that could affect IVF success rate.

IVF Success Rates by Age

According to the latest data, IVF 2022, luckily, IVF treatment is generally successful, especially for women that their age is under 35, but increasing the age of women, reciprocally will decrease the percentage of successful IVF pregnancy.

• For women under 35, the overall IVF success rate and live birth is 54.5%.
• For women between 38-40, the percentage of successful IVF pregnancy is 26%.
• For women 41 and 42, the IVF success rate and live birth is 13.8%.
• For women more than 43 and up, the IVF success rate is roughly 4.2%.

But you should not have been frustrated due to such disappointing data. Fortunately, there is a miracle method called egg donation. In this way a woman up 40 years old uses a donor egg, the success percentage of IVF will not be influenced by the woman's age to a great extent. Therefore, if the couple's age is so important and effectively influences the rate of successful IVF pregnancy, an important question arises: Why is IVF less successful with age?

Why IVF success decreases with age?

“Is it possible to get pregnant naturally at 40?” The answer of this question is not simple! The likelihood of becoming pregnant within a year at this age is 44%. This is because as the woman ages, the number of eggs in her ovaries decreases, and unfortunately, she is more likely to get diseases that harm her fertility as she becomes older. On the other hand, woman’s egg supply will be down to roughly 18,000 by the time she turns 40 (3% of her pre-birth egg supply), so it assumes this is good news! What’s the problem? The answer is the quality of the eggs. The quality of the egg plays a crucial role in the quality of the embryo, and the quality of the embryo plays a vital role in the percentage of live birth! As a result of the sequential arrangement of the above elements: egg quality, embryo quality and live birth, the suggestion package to women that want to welcome their new babe after 42 is IVF with egg donation.  

IVF age limit

According to the previously mentioned data, some countries have some considerations for accepting patients for IVF procedures. Based on recent data, the IVF age limit in Some countries is listed as follows:

• IVF age limit in turkey is 46
• IVF age limit in India (preferred) is 50-51
• IVF age limit in Spain is 50
• IVF age limit in Ukraine (preferred) is 50-51
• IVF age limit in Czech is 48 years+ 364 days
• IVF age limit in North Cyprus is 58
• IVF age limit in Russia is 51

Of course, in there are some exceptions in all countries, and some clinics may accept patients up to the determined ages!

What is the success rate of IVF on the first try?

In general, women under the age of 35 receive a more effective IVF treatment at the first attempt, and this is because the number of eggs in the ovaries and their quality diminish with age. Egg & sperm quality plays a pivotal role in the chances of IVF success; if either quality isn't good enough, this may lower the chances of IVF success. The success rate of IVF varies individually according to the maternal age; While the success rate is well above 40% for the first cycle of IVF, and many have had successful IVF during the first attempt, some may need more IVF cycles. After failing the first cycle of the IVF procedure, patients should trust the physician's experience and expertise and go on with their treatment.

Pregnancy history

A successful IVF pregnancy is more likely to occur in a couple that has experienced one successful pregnancy. If the first child of the family has genetic problem or the couple are anxious about the risk of passing their genetic abnormality to their children, PGD (Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) or PGS trough IVF without any harm to embryo, will help these couples.

Couple’s lifestyle

The likelihood of successful pregnancy is significantly decreased if one smokes excessively. It is better that smokers give up when attempting to conceive or while pregnant. The intended parents that have plans to undergo IVF treatment should stop drinking alcohol at least three months before the start of the procedure. Weight is another lifestyle element that affects the rate of IVF successful pregnancy; overweight or underweight women have lower chances of getting pregnant than those with a normal BMI (Body Mass Index). Your BMI falls within the normal or healthy weight range if it is between 18.5 and 24.9. Your BMI is considered overweight if it is between 25.0 and 29.9, and on the contrary, your BMI is considered obese if it is 30.0 or greater. The quality of eggs and sperm, which are essential for the success of IVF, is also significantly influenced by nutrition and environmental factors.
