Treatment results at Ovumia

What do the statistics show and what do they mean? Ovumia Group statistics for 2023–2024.

Starting fertility treatment often brings both hope and questions – and one of the most important concerns is the chance of actually having a child. Here, we summarize our results in a clear and transparent way, so that you understand both what the numbers mean and how they can help you and your doctor plan the right treatment.

Most people who continue treatment have children.

When we follow our patients throughout the entire treatment process – including any repeated IVF cycles, transfers of frozen embryos, and, when necessary, treatment with donated gametes – approximately 80–85% of our patients have children.

This is because fertility care is almost always a process, not a single attempt.
The results per individual treatment cycle are significantly lower – and these are the figures shown in the graphs below.

How are results measured in fertility treatments?

In the statistics, we distinguish between three different levels:

  • Positive pregnancy test (hCG+)
    An early sign of pregnancy, measured two weeks after embryo transfer or insemination.
  • Clinical pregnancy
    A pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound – this is what is usually meant when someone says they “are pregnant.”
  • Ongoing pregnancy / live birth
    The most relevant measure, as it shows how many treatments lead to the pregnancy continuing or resulting in a child.

Results per cycle – own eggs under 35 years compared with donated eggs

Own eggs

  • Pregnancy (HCG+) %
    79%
  • Clinical pregnancy % (Ultrasound)
    73%
  • Ongoing / Live birth %
    68%

Donor eggs

  • Pregnancy (HGC+) %
    83%
  • Clinical pregnancy % (Ultrasound)
    78%
  • Ongoing / Live birth %
    72%

Brief summary:

  • An IVF cycle with own eggs in people under 35 years of age leads on average to a 68% rate of ongoing pregnancy/live birth.
  • With treatment using donated eggs, the result is slightly higher: 72%.
  • Donated eggs come from young donors, which provides a stable and high chance of pregnancy – regardless of the recipient’s age.

Results per cycle in different age groups

Under 35 years

  • Pregnancy (HCG+) %
    79%
  • Clinical pregnancy % (Ultrasound)
    73%
  • Ongoing / Live birth %
    68%

Ages 35–39

  • Pregnancy (HCG+) %
    56%
  • Clinical pregnancy % (Ultrasound)
    51%
  • Ongoing / Live birth %
    44%

Over 39 years

  • Pregnancy (HCG+) %
    40%
  • Clinical pregnancy % (Ultrasound)
    32%
  • Ongoing / Live birth %
    20%

Donated eggs

  • Pregnancy (HCG+) %
    83%
  • Clinical pregnancy % (Ultrasound)
    78%
  • Ongoing / Live birth %
    72%

Chance of pregnancy per cycle:

Under 35 years: approximately 68%

  • Ages 35–39: approximately 44%
  • Over 39 years: approximately 20–32%
  • Donated eggs: approximately 72%

This shows something important: 👉 The age of the egg is the factor that has the greatest impact on results.

 

How many embryos do you get per IVF cycle?

The number of embryos that develop in a cycle depends primarily on egg quality. The table below shows how the number of embryos varies with age – and when using donated eggs.

How should the figures be interpreted?

  • Under 35 years of age, most people obtain multiple embryos per cycle, which provides several chances of success.
  • After the age of 40, the risk increases that a cycle will result in no embryos at all.
  • Donated eggs yield results that correspond to the age of the young donor – not the recipient.

IVF results – one cycle consists of several chances

An IVF cycle means that:

Each embryo transfer is a new chance of pregnancy, and a cycle is considered complete only when all embryos have been transferred.

  • The ovaries are stimulated
  • Eggs are retrieved
  • The eggs are fertilized in the laboratory
  • Embryos are cultured
  • One embryo is transferred at a time
  • Any remaining embryos are frozen for later attempts

Why are results per patient higher than results per cycle?

A single cycle is only part of the treatment. When taking into account:

  • repeated cycles
  • transfer of frozen embryos
  • lifestyle changes
  • optimized medication
  • a possible switch to donated eggs

… the overall chance increases significantly.
That is why 80–85% of our patients have children over time.
