IVF Success Rates by Age in India — What the Numbers Actually Mean

IVF success rates depend primarily on the woman's age at egg retrieval — because egg quality declines with age. Approximate live birth rates per embryo transfer (own eggs): - Under 35: 55–70% - Age 35–37: 45–55% - Age 38–40: 35–45% - Age 41–42: 20–35% - Age 43+: 10–20% (own eggs); 55–65% with donor eggs With PGT-A (preimplantation genetic testing), only chromosomally normal embryos are transferred — this significantly improves success rates per transfer at all ages, particularly over 37. At Maatritva IVF in Newtown, Kolkata, Dr. Ankita Mandal is committed to giving every patient honest expectations before treatment begins. We do not inflate statistics. We give you YOUR numbers based on your AMH, antral follicle count, age, and diagnosis. The key distinction: pregnancy rate vs live birth rate. A clinic quoting a 'pregnancy rate' includes chemical pregnancies and early losses. The live birth rate — a baby you actually take home — is always lower and is the only number that truly matters to you. For women over 40 with low reserve, the conversation about donor eggs is approached compassionately and without pressure. Dr. Ankita always puts your informed decision first.
