Southeastern Fertility Center Donor Egg Success Rates

**We have donors readily available**

Through rigorous egg donor selection and screening, individualized patient care, the use of state-of-the-art stimulation protocols with recombinant gonadotropins, a "cutting edge" embryology laboratory with "triple gas" incubators, and blastocyst transfers, success rates at Southeastern Fertility Center have steadily improved. This web page is designed to give you an overview of Southeastern Fertility Center's success rate with donor egg treatment treatment in the most recent reporting year. Since pregnancy rates per cycle of treatment vary tremendously from individual to individual, we recommend consultation with a physician at Southeastern Fertility Center to help you estimate your pregnancy rate per treatment cycle.

"Success" can have various meanings in the world of medicine. Accordingly, when evaluating pregnancy rates it is important to understand the rates being quoted. It is clear that the best measure of success for any infertility treatment is the "take home baby" or "live birth" rate per cycle of infertility treatment. Given the time period being quoted the "live birth" rate may not be available and in that situation the best measure of success is the clinical pregnancy rate defined as the percent of IVF cycles resulting in a pregnancy with fetal cardiac activity within the uterus at 7 weeks of pregnancy which represents our statistics below. This is distinctly different from centers reporting pregnancies defined as only an "intrauterine gestational sac".

Types of Donor Egg Cycles

We offer two different types of donor egg donation.

Single donor egg cycles are where all of the eggs from one donor are given to one recipient.

Split donor egg cycles involve splitting the eggs from one donor to two recipients. Split donor egg cycles are less expensive than single donor egg cycles.

Entire Year 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 Donor Egg Success Rates

The most recent donor egg pregnancy rates from Southeastern Fertility Center can be found in the graph below. The graph displays our patients' clinical pregnancy rate per embryo transfer for all infertility patients undergoing an embryo transfer with embryos created from donor eggs during the entire year 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011.

The clinical pregnancy rate is the percent of donor egg cycles resulting in a pregnancy with fetal cardiac activity within the uterus at 7 weeks of pregnancy (5 weeks after embryo transfer).

** Clinical pregnancy is defined as a pregnancy with fetal cardiac activity within the uterus 5 weeks after egg retrieval.

*** A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches and entrance criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic.
