Brothers Benjamin and Charlie at Bourn Hall
Bourn Hall Clinic in Cambridge reports excellent IVF success rates which have just been updated on its website.
One of the 2011 highlights reveals that 54% of patients aged 35 years and below, who had IVF with single embryo blastocyst transfer, achieved a clinical pregnancy.
Additionally, for many it was first time success. For two years running 42% of Bourn Hall patients funded by the NHS have achieved pregnancy on their first attempt with a single embryo transfer.
With our patient focussed approach to IVF we have not only maintained our success rates but also reduced multiple births in line with HFEA objectives. For patients with single embryo transfer only three sets of twins have been born over the last two years.
The HFEA publishes success rates for each IVF clinic and this can be a useful guide, however, individual success is determined by many different factors. If you are considering IVF treatment we would be able to give you a personal assessment of your chances of success.
At Bourn Hall Clinic, every journey is different, every treatment individual.
