According to the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority in the UK, success rates for IVF are improving. Official figures for success rates indicate a 0.9% increase in positive outcomes. In 2005, there were 11,262 children born as a result of IVF. However, there was also a 6% increase in the number of women who had IVF compared with the previous year, so this could account for some of the rise in successful outcomes.
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has a website which lists percentages of success rates from clinic to clinic, and between different treatment methods. Rates vary according to the age of the patient, so these rates are also divided into age categories. Prospective patients can access this information online when deciding which clinic to attend. It is similar to the league tables kept for schools.
