Britain's Biggest Research Study Finds Live Birth Rates Similar to Regular IVF

Study finds egg freezing success rates comparable to routine IVF, providing reliable and predictable outcomes for women’s fertility.

Britain’s largest study on egg freezing found that success rates are comparable to routine IVF, with outcomes influenced by factors like female age and embryo quality.
The study analyzed the outcomes of almost 30,000 eggs frozen at the London Women’s Clinic over a 15-year period, showing an overall live birth rate of 26% per embryo transfer.
Results indicated a lower live birth rate in women over 35 and only 5% in those over 40, with a cumulative live birth rate of 34% and 45% for those who froze their eggs before age 36.
The study also highlighted that using screened embryos for chromosome abnormalities doubled the live birth rate compared to untested embryos, with all live births in women over 40 from chromosomally normal embryos.
The findings challenge skepticism surrounding egg freezing, suggesting it can be a viable option for achieving pregnancy and live birth, particularly when considering age and embryo quality.
