Secondly, Adora Fertility does not currently undertake genetic testing of embryos for their chromosome status (PGT-A). Donor sperm cycles are included in the measures and given that the majority of cycles involving donor sperm are in women that do not have an underlying fertility issue that is due to a medical reason (ie single women and same sex couples) it is misleading to include this data in the success rates measures. When it comes to success rate measures, Adora Fertility does have 2 distinct disadvantages in how these measures are calculated compared to some other clinics and we hope you bear this in mind as you are not always comparing “apples with apples”.įirstly, Adora Fertility does not currently have access to donor sperm, it is not covered under Medicare. Our doctors, nurses, scientists and admin staff are absolutely committed to providing quality fertility care at a cost that is accessible and affordable for all Australians. When comparing Adora to other clinics we hope that you will be pleased to see that we align well with National Averages. Instead we recommend patients are aware of the current limitations of the website and consider other aspects such as patient centred care, cost and importantly the experience and qualifications of their doctor.” “When patients are choosing fertility clinics or if they have had unsuccessful cycles, ANZSREI Executive does not recommend solely using the YourIVFsuccess website in their decision. Important things to bear in mindĪdora encourages patients to use this website but echoes the point made by ANZSREI (the peak Australian body representing CREIs, the official college recognised fertility qualification for doctors in Australia and New Zealand) that states: We suggest talking to your Fertility Specialist to discuss your individual circumstances. Different causes of infertility and certain lifestyle factors can have varied impacts on the success of fertility treatment. ![]() Weight can also impact clinical pregnancies and live births. Advanced age in the female partner is associated with a decrease in clinical pregnancies and live births. When considering success rates, there are a number of factors that can affect individual results. It is important to note that not every IVF cycle will result in an egg collection, a fresh transfer, or embryos of freezing quality. No donor eggs or sperm, or PGT tested embryos are included in these statistics. This includes all patients that underwent an embryo transfer as part of an IVF or ICSI treatment. The below graphs show our Clinical Pregnancy and Live Birth rates for all Adora Fertility clinics in 2019. There is a lot of information but the brains behind this initiative have overall done a good job of trying to make things easy for people to understand and to be fair to all clinics in the way the data is reported. Our view is that clinics should not “cherry-pick” and then publish the data that paints them in the most favourable light and we recommend to our patients to consult this website and take their time to go through it in detail. IVF is a complex field of medicine and measuring success rates in IVF is also complex as there is not one single measure that gives a complete answer. ![]() ![]() This initiative from the Federal Government is designed to give people needing fertility treatments an independent source of information about what IVF involves, general success rates and specific success rates for individual clinics around Australia. Adora Fertility has always been transparent about our success rates (and our costs) and so we welcomed the launch of the YourIVFSuccess website on 15th February 2021.
