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. Indicative live birth rates per embryo transfer reported in published data (own eggs). These are general figures, not this clinic's results, and they vary between studies, clinics and individual circumstances: - 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 — it may improve success rates per transfer in selected patients, particularly over 37, but it does not create more healthy embryos. At Maatritva IVF in Newtown, Kolkata, Dr. Ankita Mandal is committed to giving every patient honest expectations before treatment begins. 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.
