When looking at IVF success rates, you have two data sources available in the US.

1. SART: The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology reports the most recent IVF success rates of their member fertility clinics. Their annual report is entitled "IVF Success Rate Reports" and is available at http://www.sart.org. Fertility clinics who are current SART members are required to follow SART guidelines, which includes the reporting of IVF success rates.

Total IVF Cycles Performed Per Year

Total IVF Cycles Reported

First you may want to verify that a fertility clinic is doing a good number of IVF cycles a year. You want a clinic that is proficient and experienced in the art of IVF. 120 total IVF cycles or more in one year is a good number.
