Success Rates
We’re passionate about helping patients achieve their dream of having a family. It’s a responsibility we take very seriously. We believe in empowering you with relevant information so you can make the best decisions for your individual circumstances.
That’s why we believe in complete transparency when it comes to publishing our IVF pregnancy success rates.
Understanding IVF success rates
We understand that interpreting success rates and comparing fertility clinics can be challenging, as different providers often present their success rates in very different ways. It’s important to us that you’re able to make an informed decision when choosing a fertility provider. You can access independent guidance and information on how to interpret success rates by clicking here.
On this page, you will find two different representations of success rates; YourIVFSuccess and ANZARD Success Rates. Each of these representations use unique sets of data in order to explain the key measures of success of different treatments. Be sure to read through the information carefully and contact our nurse enquiry team should you have any questions.
Continuously improving
We are continually striving to improve our success rates and outcomes for our patients. Read about the initiatives we are working on to improve our success rates here.
Your Journey
Many factors can contribute to your likelihood of achieving a pregnancy or live birth. Maternal age is the single most important consideration, but the cause of infertility and lifestyle factors such as weight and smoking also play a part.
We recommend that everyone should have a consultation with a fertility specialist to understand their individual chances of success. A fertility specialist will review your personal medical history, conduct fertility health assessments, and discuss your individual chances of success with you.
It’s important to realise that not every treatment cycle will result in an egg collection, an embryo transfer, or having embryos to freeze. We do everything we possibly can to give you the very best chance of successfully conceiving, but unfortunately, there are no guarantees when it comes to fertility treatment.
Simply put? Your chance of success is very specific to your clinical situation. A fertility specialist can provide you with personalised guidance and fertility advice. You can book a consultation with a fertility specialist here.
YourIVFSuccess Rates
YourIVFSuccess is independently published data by the University of New South Wales and shows the success rates of each clinic around Australia compared to the national average. The publication of this data is voluntary.
This data is presented using 5 key measures which are demonstrated in the graphs below, along with an explanation of what the measure means, and how it is calculated.
Births per complete egg retrieval cycle (including the later transfer of resulting embryos)
The first measure looks at what percentage of completed egg retrieval cycles result in a live birth. Put simply, it tells you how likely you are to have a baby from each egg pickup. To maintain this measure at a level far above the national average, Monash IVF works with the best clinicians in the country to plan your cycle and uses the latest technology to give every embryo the best chance of becoming a healthy baby.
Every year, clinic data is independently audited by the National Perinatal and Epidemiology and Statistics Unit (NPESU) and provided to IVF clinics upon request. The team at Monash IVF have used this data to create a combined total of the Monash IVF clinics for this measure. Fertility Solutions (Sunshine Coast and Bundaberg), PIVET (Leederville and Cairns), and Fertility North are excluded from this data as they were not operating under the Monash IVF or Repromed brands at the time of reporting.
Measure 1 covers live births from embryo transfers, which were initiated in 2021 and 2022, divided by the number of egg collections in 2021. This measure only includes patients who used their own eggs and doesn’t include egg or embryo freeze cycles. If you are interested in using donated eggs in your cycle, please contact Monash IVF to better understand your chances of success.
Births per complete egg retrieval cycle (including the later transfer of resulting embryos) for women having their first retrieval
The second measure we’re looking at is the same as the first – except that it only looks at patients who are undergoing their first ever egg collection. If you’re a first-time patient, this figure gives you a good idea of how likely you are to bring home a baby on your first cycle. You may be wondering: why is this measure higher than measure 1? The answer is that a significant number of first-time patients bring home a healthy baby after only one egg retrieval! This fact boosts this measure, making it higher than measure 1.

Fertility Solutions (Sunshine Coast and Bundaberg), PIVET (Leederville and Cairns), and Fertility North are excluded from this data as they were not operating under the Monash IVF or Repromed brands at the time of reporting.
Measure 2 covers live births from embryo transfers which were initiated in 2021 and 2022, divided by the total number of egg collections in 2021. This measure only includes patients who have never previously had an IVF cycle in Australia. It also only includes patients who use their own eggs and doesn’t include egg or embryo freeze cycles. If you are interested in using donated eggs in your cycle, please contact Monash IVF to better understand your chances of success.
Births per individual treatment attempt
This measure is a bit different from the previous two – it looks at how likely an intended embryo transfer is to result in a live birth. Most egg collections at Monash IVF result in more than one healthy, usable embryos. Because of this, most of our patients will have the option to undergo multiple embryo transfer cycles per egg collection. Measure 3 tells us how likely each of these embryo transfers is to result in a live birth.
Every year, clinic data is independently audited by the National Perinatal and Epidemiology and Statistics Unit (NPESU) and provided to IVF clinics upon request. The team at Monash IVF have used this data to create a combined total of the Monash IVF clinics for this measure. Fertility Solutions (Sunshine Coast and Bundaberg), PIVET (Leederville and Cairns), and Fertility North are excluded from this data as they were not operating under the Monash IVF or Repromed brands at the time of reporting.
Measure 3 covers total live births from intended embryo transfer cycles initiated in 2022. It only includes patients who use their own eggs. If you are interested in using donated eggs in your cycle, please contact Monash IVF to better understand your chances of success.
Births per embryo that is transferred
Measure 4 doesn’t look at intended embryo transfer cycles, like the previous measure. Instead, it looks at how many total embryos have been transferred to patients. This is relevant as some clinics will recommend transferring two embryos during each embryo transfer cycle, as it has a higher chance of resulting in a live birth. However, the transfer of two embryos is also known to increase risk to both the baby and mother so these procedures are rarely performed at Monash IVF. If a clinic performs well in Measure 3 but much worse in Measure 4, they may perform a significant number of dual embryo transfers.

Clinical pregnancies per individual treatment attempt
Lastly, Measure 5 covers the chance of achieving clinical pregnancy for each attempted embryo transfer. This is opposed to the first four measures, which all only consider the chance of achieving a live birth. Since we can measure a pregnancy much earlier than a live birth, this data covers cycles completed in 2023, instead of 2022 or 2021. More recent data like that presented in Measure 5 can be more relevant to you if you’re planning to start a cycle soon.

ANZARD Success Rates Results
Monash IVF Clinical Pregnancy and Live Birth Success Rates 2022
The clinical pregnancy rates we include below are per the Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproductive Database (ANZARD) definition. According to ANZARD, a clinical pregnancy must fulfil one of the following criteria:
- known to be ongoing at 20 weeks;
- evidence by ultrasound detection of an intrauterine sac (with or without a fetal heart);
- examination of products of conception reveal chorionic villi; or
- an ectopic pregnancy has been diagnosed by laparoscope or by ultrasound.
Live Birth Definition:
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) definition, a live birth is defined as the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception irrespective of the duration of the pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord or definite movement of the voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached; each product of such a birth is considered liveborn.
Our data is not adjusted for:
- Patients with varying lengths of infertility and previous cycle numbers
- Female and male BMI (weight)
- Ovarian reserve parameters
- Male age
- Embryo grade, day of transfer, or survival rates
- Lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking)
- Medication regime used
If you would like to know more about how success rates are interpreted, please see the Fertility Society of Australia's consumer guide here.
