Success Rates of IVF Treatment

Ms Tan Su Shan asked the Minister for Health what are the success rates of live births arising from in-vitro fertilisation for Singapore women aged below 35 years of age and those above 35 years of age.

The success rate of live births from In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) using fresh embryos was 23% based on most recent data from 2010. In particular, the success rate of live births from IVF for women below 35 years of age was 34%, while for women 35 years of age and older, the success rate of live births was 14%. These rates have been fairly consistent over the last five years, from 2006 to 2010.
