The success rate of IVF is determined to a large degree by the age of the woman undergoing the treatment. Younger women tend to have healthier eggs, which increase the chances of success.
In 2006, the percentage of IVF cycles started that resulted in a live birth were:
- 29% for women aged under 35,
- 26% for women aged 35-37,
- 17% for women aged 38-39,
- 11% for women aged 40-42,
- 5% for women aged 43-44, and
- less than 1% for women aged over 44.
