Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IVF success rate?

IVF success rates reflect the percentage of ART cycles that result in a live birth. The CDC reports rates broken down by age group because age is the strongest predictor of IVF success.

Where does PlainFertility get its data?

All data comes from the CDC's National ART Surveillance System (NASS), which collects clinic-specific ART cycle data under the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992. PlainFertility is not affiliated with the CDC.

Should I choose a clinic based solely on success rates?

No. Success rates depend on patient mix, a clinic treating more complex diagnoses may appear to have lower rates. Volume, single embryo transfer rates, and specialist expertise matter too. Read our guide to choosing a fertility clinic.

About this data

How PlainFertility works, and why you can trust these numbers

What this site is

PlainFertility is a plain-language reference for U.S. IVF clinic success rates. We turn the CDC's National ART Surveillance System (NASS) data, mandatory reporting from every U.S. fertility clinic performing ART procedures, into a searchable database by clinic, state, and metro area, with every figure traceable to the CDC's own published tables.

Editorial process

  1. Source. Download the raw NASS datasets from the CDC ART Data Portal, including both clinic-level and national aggregate files published with each annual Fertility Clinic Success Rates Report.
  2. Verify. Match clinic records across reporting years using the persistent NASS clinic ID numbers the CDC assigns, and respect CDC suppressions rather than estimating or interpolating withheld figures.
  3. Publish. Reproduce CDC-reported success rates exactly as published, no adjustment, composite scoring, or proprietary ranking formula, so readers can check any figure against the original CDC report.

Editorial independence & corrections

The PlainFertility editorial team is independent and accepts no payment or sponsorship from any fertility clinic, ASRM, SART, or healthcare organization. Found an error or a stale figure? File a correction via the contact page. See our methodology for full source attribution and refresh cadence.
