Clinical Outcomes

Results, reported honestly

Fertility care is a partnership built on trust, and trust starts with transparency. We publish our own outcomes — by age, by procedure, with safety indicators — so you can decide for yourself whether ICRC is the right place to start your journey.

Success rates change with age

Age is the single strongest predictor of fertility outcomes. We report results by five-year age bands so you can see the realistic range for your situation — without averages that hide the difference.

Rates expressed per embryo transfer. Cumulative live birth rates per egg-collection cycle (across all fresh and frozen transfers) are consistently higher and available on request.

Outcomes by procedure

Different treatments, different odds

No two patients receive the same treatment plan. These are the pooled results for each procedure we offer, across all age bands combined.

35%

Clinical pregnancy rate

IVF / ICSI

In-vitro fertilisation with conventional insemination or intracytoplasmic sperm injection, the gold-standard treatment for most causes of infertility.

25% take-home baby rate
Strict patient selection — IVF/ICSI offered only after exhausting simpler options
Stimulation tailored to age and ovarian reserve (typically 10–12 mature follicles)

Best-in-class

fertilisation for severe male factor

ICSI for severe male factor

A single sperm is isolated under the microscope and injected directly into each egg — the only option for azoospermia and severe oligo/asthenospermia.

Combined with PESA / MESA / TESE
Used for severe oligospermia (<5 million/ml), asthenospermia (<20% motility) and teratospermia
Combined with PESA/MESA in obstructive azoospermia and TESE in non-obstructive azoospermia

Proven

Cryopreservation programme

Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET)

Vitrified embryos are warmed and transferred in a programmed cycle, allowing additional attempts without repeat ovarian stimulation.

Including APSORA, BD's first frozen-embryo baby
World-famous cryofreezing planner used by our embryology team
Pregnancies reported from embryos stored over 16 years

≥10M/ml

Sperm count requirement

IUI — Intrauterine Insemination

Processed sperm is placed directly into the uterine cavity 36–40 hours after hCG triggering, used for mild male factor, cervical hostility and unexplained infertility.

≥50% motility required
At least one fallopian tube must be patent and healthy
Done as a stimulated or natural cycle, often after 6 failed ovulatory cycles
Quality & Safety

A live birth is not the only measure

Safe care means low complication rates, low twin rates, and a lab that protects every embryo entrusted to it. These are the indicators we monitor at every monthly audit.

Within target

Active monitoring

OHSS prevention

Regular ultrasound through stimulation to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome; protocol adjusted to age and ovarian reserve.

Within target

10–12

Optimal follicle yield

Target number of mature follicles per cycle — enough for good outcomes while minimising OHSS risk.

Within target

Tight scrutiny

Strict cycle screening

IVF/ICSI is offered only after simpler treatments have been considered, ensuring the right couples get the right treatment at the right time.

Within target

Long shelf life

Cryopreservation success

Pregnancies have been reported from embryos stored over 16 years in our cryofreezing planner — the same one used for APSORA.

Methodology & transparency

How we measure what we report

Plain language. Audited records. No selective reporting. The full methodology is reviewed annually by an independent committee.

Reporting period

Headline IVF/ICSI figures reflect the cumulative experience of ICRC since opening our ART service in 2003, with continuous internal cycle audit.

Data source

Every cycle is documented in our internal ART register at the point of care, with results cross-checked against laboratory records and patient follow-up.

Definitions used

Clinical pregnancy = gestational sac on ultrasound at 6 weeks. Take-home baby rate = live birth of a healthy infant, confirmed by the patient or referring clinician.

What success means to us

Success is not only the pregnancy rate. We pride ourselves on the satisfaction of patients who do not achieve pregnancy — excellent service, compassionate care, and individualised attention through every step.

Behind every percentage, a family's journey

Patients shared these stories with consent. Names are abbreviated for privacy. Each one represents months — sometimes years — of careful, individualised care.
