Success rates
Despite considerable advances in recent years, IVF remains a complex, and expensive treatment.
The chance of a successful treatment cycle does depend to some extent on the reason why you cannot conceive naturally, and on your age. Studies have shown that just over 55% of women under the age of 34 will conceive after completing 5 treatment cycles of IVF.
