| 35-37 | ~30-40% |
| 38-40 | ~20-30% |

Common Questions
Does age really matter that much?
Yes. Age is the single most significant factor in IVF success because egg quality declines over time. However, donor eggs can significantly mitigate this factor.
What is a 'cumulative' success rate?
This refers to the chance of a live birth after multiple cycles (or transfers). Your odds increase significantly if you are able to undergo more than one cycle.
