IVF is one of several techniques used to help people with fertility problems who want to have a baby. An egg is removed from the woman's ovaries and fertilised with sperm in a laboratory. The fertilised egg, called an embryo, is then placed back into the woman's womb to grow and develop. According to the NHS, external, the percentage of IVF treatments that result in a live birth is 32% for women under 35, dropping to 4% for women over 44.
The success rate of IVF varies depending on multiple factors, primarily the age of the woman undergoing treatment. According to the NHS, the success rate for women under the age of 35 is around 32%, but this number significantly decreases as women age. For women over 44, the live birth rate drops to just 4%. Success can also be influenced by factors such as the quality of the sperm and eggs, the health of the uterus, and any underlying medical conditions.
Despite these statistics, IVF continues to offer hope to many people facing fertility struggles. Over time, improvements in technology, techniques, and medical support have led to better outcomes and more successful pregnancies.
Since the birth of the first IVF baby, Louise Brown, in 1978, assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like IVF have become a lifeline for countless families. It is estimated that over 10 million babies have been born through IVF worldwide. The process has not only made biological parenthood a reality for many but also shifted societal attitudes towards infertility, making it a more open and accepted topic.
As IVF technology advances, success rates continue to improve, and additional options, such as genetic screening and egg freezing, are providing even more possibilities for those facing fertility struggles. IVF is a testament to human ingenuity and the unyielding desire to bring new life into the world.
