Understanding Success Rates
We understand that when choosing the right clinic for your fertility journey, a key consideration may be their proven success rates. To view a detailed report of our success rates, you can visit our profile on the HFEA website.
You should keep in mind that success rates will have their limitations when used to compare your own experiences or personal choices, and there are a number of things that can affect success rates such as the age of the patients, the cause of their infertility, and how long they've been infertile. The HFEA provide their own guidance on choosing a clinic which you can read here.
In 2021/2022, the HFEA introduced a new method for collecting data and monitoring success rates from clinics. As this is still in the process of being implemented, the most up to date live birth rates on the HFEA website relate to treatments carried out in 2018.
Following a validation process, the HFEA plan to publish more up-to-date information on their website regarding success rates in late 2024.
The success rates quoted below refer to fresh treatment cycles carried out in 2018, using a patient's own eggs. Please get in touch if you would like us to provide you with more recent data on success rates.
