Treatment Success at Bay IVF

At Bay IVF, we will help you reach your highest possible pregnancy probability.

Helping you fulfill your dreams of bringing a new baby into your lives is the sole purpose of Bay IVF’s existence.

Your initial visit with us will include an ultrasound assessment of your ovarian antral follicle count. The number of your antral follicles, along with the results of any previous infertility tests and treatments, will help determine the probability of your treatment’s success.

The pregnancy probability varies greatly from very low to well over 50%
In order of importance, it will depend on:
1. Your fertility potential (primarily egg quality)
2. The excellence of the embryology laboratory
3. Optimized ovarian stimulation

Bay IVF Success

At Bay IVF, nearly 1 in 2 IVF cycles for patients under 35 leads to a live birth.
(Based on the latest SART data.)

Cumulative Probability of Pregnancy

Two or Three Cycles Increase the Likelihood of a Successful Outcome.

  • Most patients can increase their cumulative pregnancy probability by having more than one cycle of treatment. This graph illustrates the approximate increase in the likelihood of a successful outcome after two and three cycles of treatment.
  • In this example, we used an arbitrary 35% success rate per IVF treatment cycle. Your actual likelihood of pregnancy could be higher or lower.
