What are considered "good numbers" from SART

***SIGNATURE WARNING****

CHILD MENTIONED. 

 

Hello!  I'm 40, DH 34.  Had a successful pregnancy from 3rd round Clomid when I was 38.  I have pretty good CD3 numbers - FSH 7.09, E2 28, AFC 10 - for a woman my age.  DH has lowered counts related to his Crohn's meds.  We are TTC #2 and are so far, unsuccessful.

We did 3 rounds of Clomid & TI, and just completed an IUI with injectible meds (150 Menopur).  My response was okay I guess, 4 days of injections and I had ONE follicle at 17mm.  The RE didn't mention any additional follicles, so I assume there were none or none that were close to mature.  We triggered the next day and had IUI 2 days later.  Resulted in a BFN.

Due to my age and DH's count, we have decided to move to IVF.  My RE is the only one for 200 miles.  He has a great rep locally.  And is listed on the SART website.  But how do I know what qualifies as a "good percentage" according to their statistics?  For my age, the clinic (he's the only RE there) has a ratio of 4/14 live births for women my age.  Any advice or input is appreciated.

Thank you.

    There are a lot of factors to consider when looking at SART numbers.  As a general overview, compare your clinic's numbers with the national average, the stats for other clinics in your region, and some of the top clinics in the country (CCRM in C

    I also forgot to mention that I would look back over the last couple of years, too, not just the most recent year.

    Thank you!

    The clinic cycles more young(er) women.  So that's part of it.  Overall this clinic's numbers are slightly higher than national average.  I will go back and really look at the specifics and past years numbers.
