Success rates tell a powerful story—ours set the standard. With results that consistently surpass national averages, we help patients overcome challenges and achieve their ultimate goal: having a baby. To make understanding them easier, we’ve outlined the key factors that matter most when comparing clinics.
When considering success rates we recommend looking at 3 key factors. Whether the numbers are independently verified, the patient types and the live births per cycle. Comparison of clinics should be made against the same metric to ensure an equal measure of success is being considered.
Only HFEA-reported statistics offer a truly independent and verifiable source of data, unlike self-reported statistics where selected metrics might be chosen to create the best impression.
This is the only measure that directly answers the most common question from patients: ‘What are the chances of a live birth if I start treatment with this clinic?’
Patient profiles significantly impact success rates, from age to fertility history. At ARGC, we excel with complex cases - like Sophie and Lee who were given a 5% chance and now have twins, Gavin and Lauren who overcame unexplained infertility, and Jade and Tyrone who succeeded after multiple miscarriages.
When comparing success rates from different fertility clinics, it's important to recognise that there are multiple ways to calculate these statistics. At ARGC we prioritise transparency and simplicity by reporting success rates as live births per cycle started, we believe this method provides the clearest and most straightforward insight for our patients.
Let's consider a scenario where 10 women start IVF:
Here’s how the live birth statistics would be presented for each stage:
While the scenario remains the same, different measures of success can be presented to patients. At ARGC, we believe the most meaningful measure of success for patients is per treatment cycle started. This metric highlights that 9 of the 10 women starting treatment were not successful in having a live birth.
