Published IVF success rates provide a useful overview of clinic outcomes but cannot predict an individual patient’s results.

Your chances of success depend on many factors, including your age, fertility diagnosis, ovarian reserve, and medical history.

Dr Mark Livingstone will review your individual circumstances during your consultation to provide a clearer understanding of your personalised treatment outlook.

IVF success can be measured in different ways depending on which stage of treatment is being assessed. For example, outcomes may be reported per egg retrieval cycle, per treatment attempt, or per embryo transfer. Because IVF involves several stages, from egg collection to embryo transfer and pregnancy, no single statistic can fully capture the entire treatment process.

YourIVFSuccess therefore publishes several standardised measures to provide a more complete picture of clinic outcomes.

If you are beginning IVF, Measure 2 (births per first retrieval cycle) can be particularly relevant because it reflects outcomes for patients undergoing their first egg retrieval. Looking at several measures together can help you better understand how a clinic performs across different stages of treatment.

Genea has also published a detailed guide explaining how to interpret YourIVFSuccess data and IVF outcome measures.  You can read it here.

In Australia, IVF success rates are published at the clinic level rather than for individual specialists. This means outcomes reflect the overall performance of the clinic where treatment occurs.

Dr Mark Livingstone practices at Genea Sydney CBD, and the success rates shown on this page represent the results achieved at that clinic.

When reviewing IVF success rates, it’s important to compare clinics using the same reporting measures.

Results may vary depending on patient demographics, reporting timeframes, and how success is measured. The YourIVFSuccess framework standardises five key measures, making it easier to compare clinics fairly.

Looking at all five measures across age groups provides the most reliable overview of clinic performance.

Genea Sydney CBD’s IVF outcomes are consistently higher than the national average across all YourIVFSuccess measures and age groups.

For example, in 2023 births per treatment attempt (Measure 3) were:

• 43.8% for patients under 35 at Genea Sydney CBD
• 34.5% nationally

The success rate for a first IVF attempt is reported as births per first retrieval cycle (Measure 2). This measure includes all embryo transfers — both fresh and frozen — created from a patient’s first egg collection.

At Genea Sydney CBD the live birth rate per first retrieval cycle is:

• 55.4% for patients under 35 (52.3% nationally)
• 37.8% for patients aged 35–42 (30.6% nationally)

These results are drawn from YourIVFSuccess data (egg retrieval year 2022, embryo transfer years 2022–2023).

Dr Livingstone will also explain how your personal circumstances may influence your individual probability of success.

Age is one of the most significant factors influencing IVF outcomes. Egg quality and quantity tend to decline over time, which can affect the likelihood of success.

At Genea Sydney CBD, patients under 35 have a live birth rate of 55.4% per first retrieval cycle, while patients aged 35–42 have a rate of 37.8%.

During your consultation, Dr Mark Livingstone will discuss how age and other personal factors may influence your individual chances of success.

Dr  Mark Livingstone practices at Genea Sydney CBD, where IVF outcomes are independently reported through the government-funded platformYourIVFSuccess. This site publishes verified results for all accredited IVF clinics that participate in public reporting.

Across all five success measures and reporting periods, Genea Sydney CBD performs above the Australian national average.

For patients having their first IVF egg retrieval, the live birth rate at Genea Sydney CBD is:

• 55.4% for patients under 35 (52.3% nationally)
• 37.8% for patients aged 35–42 (30.6% nationally)
