IVF Phoenix

IVF clinic in Scottsdale, AZ. Live-birth success by patient age (own eggs, per intended egg retrieval) from the CDC's national ART registry (2021).

Reading this clinic's numbers

At IVF Phoenix, reported live birth per intended egg retrieval with own eggs runs about 0.0% for patients under 35 — below the US national average of 46.0% for that age band, easing to about 8.7% by the >40 band. These are clinic-reported CDC figures and reflect the clinic's patient mix as much as its laboratory — a clinic that treats more older or complex patients will show a lower headline rate even with excellent care.

What this means in practice: a success rate is per attempt, not a guarantee. At an under-35 rate near 0.0%, roughly two egg retrievals are typically needed for a strong cumulative chance of a baby; at the older-age rate near 8.7%, many more — which is why cost per baby (cycle price multiplied by the cycles you are likely to need) is the honest figure to compare, not the headline percentage.

A US IVF cycle typically costs €15,000-25,000. Because own-egg success falls steeply with age, for patients over about 38 the cost per baby often favours donor-egg treatment in the EU, where live birth holds near 48% per transfer at any recipient age and a cycle costs €4,600-6,500 (Czechia, Greece, Spain).

This clinic's pattern: relatively stable performance across ages (0.0% under 35 to 8.7% by >40). Still, US cycle costs at €15,000–25,000 mean that for many patients over 40, EU donor eggs at ~48% per transfer and €4,600–6,500/cycle yield a lower cost per baby.

What the registries actually show

IVF success is driven mainly by maternal age and egg type, not by the country you choose. The public registries put own-egg live birth at roughly:

• United States (CDC ART, 2021): live birth per egg retrieval with own eggs — under 35 49.7%, 35-37 36.3%, 38-40 23.1%, over 40 7.7%.
• United Kingdom (HFEA, 2023): live birth per embryo transferred — ages 18-34 about 35%, 43-44 about 5%; national average about 25%.
• Donor eggs (ESHRE/EIM): about 48% per transfer, broadly independent of the recipient's age — the single biggest lever after 40.
