Since Minerva Fertility opened in February 2024:

47% of patients have achieved a live birth with an embryo from their 1st IVF stimulation cycle. 

30% of patients who had been unsuccessful elsewhere, have achieved a live birth with IVF.

Our specialist’s approach to IVF is different to most other clinics. We will explain how and why.

We focus on providing patients with a more streamlined and supportive experience, offering either a quicker path to a successful pregnancy or alternatively, a faster, clearer resolution if treatment proves unsuccessful due to factors like poor-quality eggs or embryos. This approach empowers patients with clarity and allows for informed decisions about their fertility journey. It is often more cost effective.

IVF success rates are best shown as live birth rates, allowing apple versus apple comparisons between clinics.

The Minerva Fertility laboratory, started treating patients in February 2024. The graphs show live birth rates but the numbers do not yet allow an analysis by age group.

Frozen Embryo Transfers After PGT-A Testing

We prioritise genetic testing of embryos (PGT-A) in patients who achieve high-grade embryos. This approach significantly improves the chances of a successful pregnancy per embryo transfer, reduces stress, and is especially cost-effective for older patients.

We are thrilled with the live birth rates we’ve achieved so far.

For context, here is how our results compare to national data from ANZARD. Data from 1 Jan to 31 December 2024:

  • PGT-A tested embryos created at Minerva Fertility: 63% (n=30)

  • ANZARD national average: 43.6%

This highlights the success of embryos created in-house at Minerva Fertility. We will continue to update these figures as our data grows.

Fresh Embryo Transfers

Our preference is only to transfer fresh embryos in patients with low grade embryos. These embryos cannot be biopsied or genetically tested and often have a low likelihood of surviving cryopreservation. As a result, patients undergoing fresh embryo transfers at our clinic are typically those with a poorer prognosis.

Despite this, our live birth rate per transfer in these cases is 31.3% (n=32), which is encouraging given the challenges faced.

In contrast, most other clinics routinely transfer untested fresh embryos for patients of all ages and embryo grades, both high and low quality. This standard practice significantly skews comparisons, as these clinics include a broader mix of patients and embryos.

Therefore the graph is comparing apples and oranges.

Comparing success rates with other clinics

We encourage you to compare our results with other clinics in our area on www.yourivfsuccess.com.au. As Minerva Fertility has only been treating patients since 2024, our date is only available for 5th category so far, ‘Pregnancies per individual treatment attempt’.

We are thrilled that we had the second highest clinical pregnancy rates in two of the three age categories for the whole of Greater Sydney in our 1st calender year of treating patients.
