Explanation of Figures, Section 3: ART Cycles Using Frozen, Nondonor Embryos

Figure 42: What are the success rates for ART cycles using frozen nondonor embryos?

Figure 42 is a bar graph representing success rates for ART cycles using frozen embryos and fresh embryos, 2005.

• Frozen Embryos is subdivided into the following three categories:
  • Thawed embryos resulting in live births, 27.3%
  • Transfers resulting in live births, 28.0%
  • Transfers resulting in singleton live births, 21.7%
• Fresh Embryos is subdivided into the following two categories:
  • Transfers resulting in live births, 34.3%
  • Transfers resulting in singleton live births, 23.3%

Figure 43 depicts two pie charts, A and B, representing the risks of having a multiple-fetus pregnancy and multiple-infant live birth from ART cycles using frozen nondonor embryos, 2005.

• Pie chart A represents 6,721 pregnancies
  • Singletons: 67.8%
  • Total multiple-fetus pregnancies 22.8%, which is subdivided as follows:
    • Twins: 19.6%
    • Triplets or more: 3.2%
  • Not able to determine number of fetuses because the pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage: 9.4%
• Pie chart B represents 5,275 live births
  • Singletons: 77.3%
  • Total multiple-infant live births 22.7%, which is subdivided as follows:
    • Twins: 20.9%
    • Triplets or more: 1.8%
