 * Implantation rate is the ratio between the number of embryos transferred in a treatment cycle and the number of Intra Uterine heart beats seen, i.e an implantation rate of 33% means that for every 100 embryos transferred to the uterus 33 will develop to an ongoing pregnancy.

 

Success rates for IVF and ICSI treatment can be very difficult to interpret as no two centres will treat exactly the same cohort of patients. Some centres will specialise in treating difficult patients which would tend to reduce their success rates. Other centres may treat more straightforward cases which would tend to improve their success rates.  Therefore, although the published success rates of a centre are important it is necessary to interpret any results carefully.

Our success rates for IUI are in line with national figures.  It is important to be be aware that because our IUI cycle numbers are few it is very difficult to compare our results with other centres.
