World First IVF Success Website and Calculator – Ground Breaking News!

World First IVF success Website and Calculator

World First

In 1978 a world first occurred when the first child conceived via In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF) technology was born. At the time, I was just a young girl. I could never have imagined that I would use IVF. Even in my 40s when IVF was much more commonplace, I always thought I would give up before that would happen. However, after a miscarriage at 45, the door opened a crack.

Using IVF is now mainstream, assisting vast numbers of women to become pregnant. Most commonly it addresses fertility issues, whether that be female or male-factors or both. It’s also commonly used by Solo women and those in same-sex relationships.

There are now plenty of medical providers of IVF to choose from. But how do you figure out what your chances are for conceiving through IVF? How do you assess providers and their IVF success rates? It has been difficult to compare providers’ results because they don’t all measure and report in the same way.

Ground Breaking IVF Success Website!

“Your IVF Success” website, is groundbreaking! This resource, launched last week, was a response to growing calls for greater transparency in the sector. Funded by Australian Federal government, It allows prospective parents to:

  • increase their understanding of IVF
  • better predict their own chance of having a baby,
  • more easily compare the success rates of Australian IVF clinics.

The website uses carefully chosen measures, to minimise the likelihood of clinics gaming the system. For instance, it controls for where clinics transfer multiple embryos in one cycle – which carries significant health risks for mothers and babies – or where they are selecting younger, uncomplicated patients to boost their live birth rate.

World First Predictor Tool

The Your IVF Success’ website’s world first predictor tool works like a calculator, allowing users to enter their age, the age of their partner, their infertility diagnosis, whether they have previously had children, and any previous IVF treatment to offer an estimate of their chances of success.

Caution

Professor Luk Rombauts, Medical Director Monash IVF Group said, “the data should be interpreted with caution. For instance, some clinics may specialise in second referrals for complex or older patients. “You don’t want clinics to stop treating certain women just to protect their success rates,” he said.

Professor Rombauts also says:

“the website is not designed to replace the expertise of doctors. … would-be parents should consult with a fertility specialist to better understand their unique circumstances, as well as other considerations including the cost of treatment and potential complications.”

Such a website is ground-breaking and could be a “game-changer” for many women contemplating IVF assistance – perhaps even for you or a loved one.

Were You Asked This Question As A Teenager?

Many women have had the experience at high school, where their female classmates or girlfriends talked about their dreams for the future.   Often it includes talking about weddings and the families they would have one day.

Next, one of the girls asks the question, “How Many Kids Are You Going To Have?” Then, each girls gets asked what her answer is.

Did you have that experience this question when you were a teenager?  If so, did you:⁣

  • Jump in with an answer of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 …. ?
  • Hang back hoping they wouldn’t ask you, with a sense that you didn’t want a child at all?  OR⁣
  • Have some other reaction?⁣ ⁣

As a teenager, we are usually quite removed from the realities of having babies.   I said 6 when I was younger!  But I certainly CAN’T imagine that now.⁣ ⁣

Over The Years Things May Change

A typical women’s fertility window starts from her early teenage years, and continues until her late 40s, (though some can be shorter and others longer).  As the years go by, there will be many factors that a young girl would never have considered.   So a lot can happen to change a woman’s stance on baby or no baby, and the eventual outcome (some of which she may be unable to control).

However,  some never change their mind, whether that’s a definitive yes or no answer.

Deciding whether to have a baby or not can be a significant issue for many women.  That’s why it’s important to take the time to get really clear on what is right for you.  Rather than making decisions based on what you think you should do out of some sense of obligation to self or others.  It’s your life and your choice.⁣⁣

Are you a woman in your 30s, 40s or 50s and who is uncertain or confused about whether or not to have a baby?  If so, click here to download my free resource, “8 Essential Questions To Answer Before Deciding Baby or No Baby.”  Or, click here to book a chat with me about how I can assist you in moving forward.
