What is the typical success rate with frozen embryo transfer?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publishes an annual report on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) statistics in the United States. The information is self-reported by participating fertility clinics. The most recently published report, from 2002, indicates that the live birth rate for transfer of frozen embryos created with non-donor eggs is 28%, and when the embryos were created with donor eggs it is 38%. The report does not contain information on the success rates for donated frozen embryos, but it would be reasonable to expect that similar success rates would apply, depending on whether the embryos were originally created with donor eggs or an IVF patient’s eggs.
