How do I compare the success rate of different programs?
As you contact different programs, consider carefully how success rates are calculated. Make sure to ask for the success rate for people who fit your particular patient profile, such as your age and cause of infertility. A particular program may have a lower success rate than others, but specialize in more difficult cases. Or, a program may have a very good overall success rate, but not be the best one to treat your particular problem. Federal Register Notice Alert 11/6/98 sets forth a model program, including the proposed definitions, administrative requirements and laboratory standards.
