Understanding the Numbers

IVF success rates in Columbia and throughout South Carolina are improving steadily each year at Advanced Fertility. New techniques and ongoing technological advances are resulting in higher percentages of pregnancies and live births. There is, however, a three-year lag in the reporting of assisted reproductive technology (ART) pregnancy rates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which makes it difficult to accurately measure current IVF success rates.

All infertility treatment clinics in South Carolina report to the CDC through the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), which gathers the data reported by individual clinics nationwide. SART is the organization of ART providers who are affiliated with the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM).

IVF success rates are measured per ART cycle in our Columbia, South Carolina area clinic. This is the standard procedure for generating ART percentages. ART cycles consist of a series of steps over a period of about two weeks. An ART procedure is considered a cycle of treatment instead of a single procedure performed at a single point in time. An ART cycle starts when a woman begins taking medication to stimulate egg production or begins ovarian monitoring with the intention of having stored embryos transferred.

"A comparison of clinic success rate may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics and treatment approaches vary from clinic to clinic."

Beyond the Numbers

At Advanced Fertility & Reproductive Endocrinology Institute, we put people ahead of numbers. No amount of official or unofficial data can predict the success of your individual infertility treatment. In our South Carolina boutique-style practice, we connect personally with each and every one of our patients. We understand your frustration, and we understand that you’re unsure about whether IVF will be successful; however, hope isn’t found in numbers or statistics.

There are so many factors that influence the success of each individual pregnancy that it is essentially impossible to predict how your infertility treatment will work out for you and your family. At Advanced Fertility, we take a case-by-case approach. We focus on your well-being and devote everything we have learned over the years to helping you achieve the family you desire.

Most importantly, we are able to build long-term relationships with our patients based on trust, personal communication, and a support system that you won’t find in a larger institution. Now more than ever, you need the kind of emotional support that only a small clinic can offer. We invite you to discover the difference that infertility treatment at Advanced Fertility can make in your life.

Because we care about you and your family, we also offer financial support for infertility treatment. To learn more about our financing options, infertility treatment, or the IVF success rates achieved at our South Carolina clinic in the Columbia area, contact our infertility practice today.
