Nova In Vitro Fertilization
The CDC publishes this as a count rather than a percentage, because it rests on fewer than twenty transfers. That works out at 88.2%, but at this sample size one extra birth moves the figure by several points. Treat it as a rough signal, not a measurement, and weigh it against clinics doing hundreds of cycles.
By type of cycle
The CDC splits donor results by what was actually transferred. Frozen embryo transfer is the dominant modality in current practice.
| Frozen Embryos | 15 of 17transfers |
| Fresh Embryos Frozen Eggs | Not reported |
| Fresh Embryos Fresh Eggs | Not reported |
| Donated Embryosembryo donation, not egg donation | Not reported |
Using her own eggs, by age
The same measure at this clinic for patients using their own eggs. The gap that opens after 40 is the reason donor eggs exist.
What kind of birth, not just whether
A live birth rate tells you how often a transfer worked. It does not tell you whether the result was one baby or twins, and that difference carries most of the medical risk in IVF. The CDC publishes both figures. Clinics advertise only the first.
of donor-egg transfers here resulted in more than one baby. The average across the 329 clinics reporting this is 1.5%, and 65% of them reported none at all.
of transfers produced one baby, carried to term, at a normal birth weight. This is the outcome most people actually have in mind, and it is always lower than the headline rate. The national average is 32.7%.
Single embryo transfer has become standard practice and these numbers show it: most clinics now report no multiple births at all from donor eggs. A figure near zero is normal and good, not a sign of a weak programme.

A cell the CDC suppressed shows “Not reported” rather than 0%, and a rate from fewer than twenty transfers is shown as a count rather than a percentage.
