Success Rates. Not all IVF/ICSI cycles result in pregnancy, and not all IVF-achieved pregnancies result in live births. According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 35% of ART cycles (mostly IVF) led to pregnancy, but only 29% resulted in a live birth of one or more babies. Success rates provided by fertility clinics are not always a reliable indicator as they depend on many variables, including the age of the patients. The chances for success are best for women younger than age 37.
