What This Means For You

Your age group:

For patients Under 35, this clinic's single-cycle live birth rate of 54.3% is 8.1 percentage points above the national average of 46.2%.

For patients 35–37, this clinic's single-cycle live birth rate of 30.0% is 1.7 percentage points below the national average of 31.7%. The difference is within normal statistical variation.

The cumulative two-cycle rate of 37.1% shows meaningful improvement on a second attempt. This clinic averaged 1.4 retrievals per patient in this age group. Data is based on 396 cycles — a statistically reliable sample.

The cumulative two-cycle rate of 37.5% shows meaningful improvement on a second attempt. This clinic averaged 1.5 retrievals per patient in this age group. Data is based on 366 cycles — a statistically reliable sample.
