Understanding Success Rates

• A Message From SART

  The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technologies (SART), the agency that collects and publishes success statistics from all fertility clinics, warns families to be, “A comparison of clinic success rates may not be meaningful because patient medical characteristics, treatment approaches, and entry criteria for ART may vary from clinic to clinic,” and rightfully so. 

  In Essence, a clinic’s medical philosophy and treatment policies make it difficult to compare success rates from different fertility clinics. Many fertility clinics, for instance, have strict guidelines and restrictions that prevent certain individuals (those of certain ages, BMI, ovarian reserve, FSH levels, number of previous failed cycles, etc) from receiving certain treatments or treatment altogether.  Some say that clinics do this to prevent selling false hope – regarless it can certainly artificially inflating success rates.

• A Message From CNY

  At CNY, we believe true success is only found in giving every hopeful parent to be access to the treatment they need.  At CNY we have no restrictions, no cut-offs, and no blocks to anyone seeking treatment. Simply put, if you want to be a parent (even if your “odds,” of successful treatment are small) we are here to help you achieve your dream.

  During your consultation, you will be educated on the likelihood of a successful treatment given your age and testing results. As long as you are educated and know your chances, we want to give YOU a chance. Remember, statistics are based on populations – YOU are an INDIVIDUAL and so every case will be reviewed individually by one of our providers.

  We are proud of this fact, that our doors are open to all, perhaps more than anything else about CNY.  Even while accepting everyone – we proudly have success rates at or near the national average amongst all age and treatment categories.
