  • Age 26, 3.9%
  • Age 27, 3.6%
  • Age 28, 2.8%
  • Age 29, 3.6%

  • Age 38, Own eggs 31.6%, Donor eggs 44.2%
  • Age 39, Own eggs 25.5%, Donor eggs 51.2%
  • Age 40, Own eggs 21.1%, Donor eggs 51.0%

  • Age 45, Own eggs 2.0%, Donor eggs 51.6%
  • Age 46, Own eggs 1.2%, Donor eggs 47.8%

How successful is ART when donor eggs are used?

Figure 37

Figure 37 text below

What is the risk of having a multiple-fetus pregnancy or multiple-infant birth from an ART cycle using fresh donor eggs?

Figure 38

Figure 38 text below

Figure 38 depicts two pie charts, A and B, representing the risk of having a multiple-fetus pregnancy and the risk of having a multiple-infant live birth from ART cycles using fresh embryos from donor eggs, 2002.

Pie chart A represents 4,854 pregnancies

  • Singletons 50.9%
  • Total multiple-fetus pregnancies 44.7%, which are subdivided as follows:
    • Twins 37.8%
    • Triplets or more 6.9%
    • Not able to determine number of fetuses because the pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage 4.4%

Pie chart B represents 4,195 live births

  • Singletons: 57.6%
  • Total multiple-infant live births 42.4%, which are subdivided as follows:
    • Twins: 39.6%
    • Triplets or more: 2.8%

How do success rates differ between women who use frozen donor embryos and those who use fresh donor embryos?

Figure 39

Figure 39: text below

Figure 39 is a bar graph representing the success rates for ART cycles using frozen donor and fresh donor embryos, 2002.

  • Frozen donor embryos (subject heading is divided into the following two categories):
    • Live births per transfer, 28.8%
    • Singleton live births per transfer, 20.9%
  • Fresh donor embryos (subject heading is divided into the following two categories):
    • Live births per transfer, 50.0%
    • Singleton live births per transfer, 28.8%
