IVF Success Rates at Atharva Infertility Centre
Our results
[PLACEHOLDER — REQUIRED. This is the one section that cannot be written without your records. For each figure, state the number, the denominator, and the period covered. Suggested format:]
Between [Month Year] and [Month Year], across [N] IVF cycles at our Nashik centre:
– Clinical pregnancy rate: [N]%
– Live birth rate per cycle started: [N]%
– Cumulative pregnancy rate over [N] cycles: [N]%
Years of practice: 18+
Babies delivered through treatment at Atharva: 1,900+
States and union territories our patients have travelled from: [N]
[PLACEHOLDER: your homepage currently shows both “1900+ IVF Babies” and “1800+ IVF Babies” on two hero slides. Settle on one figure and use it everywhere.]
How we calculate these figures
Fertility clinics measure success in different ways, and the same clinic can honestly report very different-looking numbers depending on what it counts. So here is exactly what ours mean.
[PLACEHOLDER — write two or three sentences covering:]
- *Which measure is being reported (pregnancy per transfer, per cycle started, or live birth)*
- *Which patients are included, and whether any groups are excluded*
- *The exact period the data covers*
- *When it was last calculated*
We publish this method because a success rate without a method behind it tells you nothing. If you would like to ask us how a figure was arrived at, we will answer.
Understanding IVF success data
Four terms account for most of the confusion when patients compare clinics.
Cycle
One complete course of treatment, from the start of ovarian stimulation through to the pregnancy test. A cycle that is cancelled before retrieval is still a cycle started — and whether a clinic counts it changes its published rate considerably.
Fresh transfer
An embryo transferred in the same cycle in which the eggs were retrieved.
Frozen transfer
An embryo frozen after retrieval and transferred in a later cycle. Because one retrieval can produce several embryos, one retrieval may lead to more than one transfer.
Clinical pregnancy rate
The proportion of cycles in which a pregnancy is confirmed on ultrasound. This is higher than the live birth rate, because not every confirmed pregnancy continues to delivery.
Live birth rate
The proportion of cycles that result in a baby born. This is the figure that matters most to patients, and the one clinics quote least often, because it is the lowest.
Cumulative pregnancy rate
The chance of pregnancy across more than one cycle rather than from a single attempt. Since many couples need more than one cycle, this is often the more realistic number to plan around.
Why clinics quote very different numbers
Three practices explain most of the variation, and none of them is necessarily dishonest:
- Per transfer vs. per cycle started. Reporting per transfer excludes cycles cancelled before retrieval, which raises the figure.
- Which patients are counted. A clinic that declines difficult cases will report better outcomes than one that accepts them, with no difference in clinical skill.
- Pregnancy vs. live birth. Pregnancy rates are always higher.
When you compare two clinics, you are often comparing two different measurements rather than two different standards of care. Ask both what they counted.
What affects your individual chances
Age
The strongest single factor, because egg quality declines with age. This is why treatment decisions are often time-sensitive.
Cause of infertility
Some diagnoses respond more predictably than others.
Ovarian reserve
Affects how many eggs are retrieved and therefore how many embryos are available. → LINK: /conditions/low-amh-ovarian-reserve/
Previous cycles
A previous failed cycle is information, not just a setback — it shows how you responded and what to change.
No clinic can predict your individual outcome, and any clinic that offers you a guarantee is not being straight with you. What a specialist can do is assess your particular situation and give you a realistic picture.
Patients who came to us after treatment elsewhere
We accept challenging cases with a lower likelihood of success. More than 40% of our IVF patients had treatment failures or rejections at other local institutions before coming to us.
We mention this for two reasons. First, if you have had a cycle fail elsewhere, you are not an unusual case here. Second, it is relevant context for reading any clinic’s success rate — including ours. → LINK: /second-opinion/

Frequently asked questions
What success rate should I expect for my age?
Success declines with maternal age, most sharply after the mid-thirties. Rather than quote a band that may not fit your situation, we would prefer to assess your reserve and history and give you a realistic figure for you.
Why do clinics quote such different success rates?
Mostly because they measure different things — per transfer versus per cycle started, pregnancy versus live birth, and which patients are included. Ask any clinic what its figure counts.
Is a pregnancy rate the same as a live birth rate?
No. Pregnancy rate counts confirmed pregnancies; live birth rate counts babies born. Live birth is always the lower and more meaningful figure.
Do success rates fall with each additional attempt?
Not necessarily. Individual cycle chances stay broadly similar, while the cumulative chance of success rises across two to three cycles.
Can you predict my individual chance of success?
No, and we would be misleading you if we claimed to. We can give you a realistic assessment based on your age, reserve, diagnosis and history.
