The UCSF Center for Reproductive Health offers a comprehensive array of infertility evaluation methods and treatment options for people of all genders. In our world-renowned program, patients have access to top fertility experts, the latest technologies, and innovative services based on cutting-edge research.

Our outcomes

When choosing a fertility provider, people often compare programs based on success rates. Many turn to the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), a reporting service that collects data on IVF outcomes from fertility clinics around the United States.

However, both SART and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention note that direct comparisons between fertility clinics may not be useful. This is because pregnancy rates largely depend on patient characteristics and how each clinic determines eligibility for IVF. Rates may vary, for example, due to differences in the screening process before an IVF cycle or the number of embryos transferred.

We do recognize, though, that individuals and couples like the assurance that they are choosing a "successful" program. Each year, we submit data on our outcomes to SART, which are published online for patients to review. If you need this information in another format, please give us a call.

Keep in mind that individual outcomes depend on a variety of factors. Questions regarding success rates are best discussed with your reproductive endocrinologist.
