Success Rates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
