As with most medical procedures, IVF treatments have not only increased in popularity for a wider range of the population than ever before, but they’ve also risen in terms of the success rates doctors and patients have reported.
This isn’t unusual, really; time is a huge boost to the medical community. And it’s definitely been an ally for reproductive health specialists who want to improve the success rates for their clients.
Recently released (and highly positive) IVF treatment statistics show just how mainstream and successful the procedures have become:
- IVF treatments now result in live births for 41.4% of treatment cycles for women who are less than 35 years of age. (Source: Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, 2011.)
- Since 2003, the rate of live births per IVF treatment cycle has increased almost 4% for women less than 35 years old. (Source: Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, 2011.)
Of course, what these figures mean for each woman considering IVF treatments will vary. In fact, many couples are less concerned with statistics than they are with simply trying every means possible to have a child of their own.
However, the facts are encouraging and tell persons that:
- IVF treatments are becoming incredibly sophisticated.
- It’s best to consider IVF treatments as soon as infertility is documented, rather than waiting for years to treat the condition.
If you have been thinking about IVF treatments as a way to have a child, it has never been a better time to set up a consultation with RSI. The education and one-on-one personalized treatments you will receive will help you make the best decisions, including whether or not to undergo IVF treatments.
