Section 2: ART Cycles Using Fresh, Nondonor Eggs or Embryos (Part A of Section 2 contains figures 3–13)
What are the steps for an ART procedure using fresh nondonor eggs or embryos? (figure 3) Why are some ART cycles discontinued? (figure 4) How is the success of an ART procedure measured? (figure 5) What percentage of ART cycles results in a pregnancy? (figure 6) What percentage of pregnancies results in live births? (figure 7) Using ART, what is the risk of having a multiple-fetus pregnancy or multiple-infant birth? (figure 8) What are the ages of women who have an ART procedure? (figure 9) Do ART success rates differ among women of different ages? (figure 10) How do ART success rates differ for women who are 40 or older? (figure 11) How do miscarriage rates for ART patients vary among women of different ages? (figure 12) How does a woman's age affect her chances of progressing through the various stages of ART? (figure 13)
Section 2: ART Cycles Using Fresh, Nondonor Eggs or Embryos (Part B of Section 2 contains figures 14–24)
What are the causes of infertility among couples who use ART? (figure 14) Does the cause of infertility affect the chances of success using ART? (figure 15) How many women who use ART have previously given birth? (figure 16) Do women who have previously given birth have higher ART success rates? (figure 17) Is there a difference in ART success rates between women with previous miscarriages and women who have never been pregnant? (figure 18) How many current ART users have undergone previous ART cycles? (figure 19) Are success rates different for women using ART for the first time and women who previously used ART but did not give birth? (figure 20) What are the success rates for women who have had both previous ART and previous births? (figure 21) What were the specific types of ART performed among women who used fresh nondonor eggs or embryos in 2003? (figure 22) What are the success rates for different types of ART procedures? (figure 23) Is ICSI used only for couples diagnosed with male factor infertility? (figure 24)
Section 2: ART Cycles Using Fresh, Nondonor Eggs or Embryos (Part C of Section 2 contains figures 25–35)
What are the success rates for couples with male factor infertility when ICSI is used? (figure 25) What are the success rates for couples without a diagnosis of male factor infertility when ICSI is used? (figure 26) How many embryos are transferred in an ART procedure? (figure 27) In general, is an ART cycle more likely to be successful if more embryos are transferred? (figure 28) Are live birth rates affected by the number of embryos transferred for women who have more embryos available than they choose to transfer? (figure 29) How long after egg retrieval does embryo transfer occur? (figure 30) In general, is an ART cycle more likely to be successful if embryos are transferred on day 5? (figure 31) Does the number of embryos transferred differ for day 3 and day 5 embryo transfers? (figure 32) In general, how does the multiple-birth risk vary by the day of embryo transfer? (figure 33) What are the success rates for women who use gestational carriers? (figure 34) How is clinic size related to success rates? (figure 35)
