What the CDC NASS Data Shows for Midwest Fertility Specialists
Midwest Fertility Specialists reported cycle outcomes to the CDC National ART Surveillance System for the 2022 reporting year, with 3 years of cumulative reporting history. The clinic performed 1,846 total ART cycles, split between 57 fresh and 1,789 frozen embryo transfer cycles. The overall success rate, live births per cycle started, was 39.5%. That is 3.0 percentage points below the Indiana state average of 42.5%, which may reflect a more complex patient case mix rather than quality of care.
Age remains the dominant variable in IVF outcomes. At Midwest Fertility Specialists, patients under 35 saw a 52.5% success rate, compared with 36.7% for ages 35–37 and 27.0% for ages 38–40. Ages 41–42 reported 7.8%, and ages 43+ reported 7.8%. Single embryo transfer (SET) was used in 47.8% of cycles, a metric ASRM associates with lower multi-pregnancy rates.
Service availability also affects which clinics fit which patients. Midwest Fertility Specialists does report donor egg services and does offer gestational carrier (surrogate) cycles. These services matter for patients with diminished ovarian reserve, same-sex couples, or medical conditions that preclude carrying a pregnancy. Every figure above is a public federal disclosure, not editorial commentary, PlainFertility is not affiliated with Midwest Fertility Specialists or the CDC, and these statistics are not a substitute for an evaluation by a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who can assess your individual diagnosis, history, and treatment options.
Read these figures as a starting point, not a verdict. The CDC reports live births per intended egg retrieval, so the percentages already account for cycles that never reached embryo transfer, a more conservative measure than the per-transfer pregnancy rates clinics sometimes advertise. Group results describe what happened for past patients; they cannot predict an individual outcome, which depends on diagnosis, ovarian reserve, sperm quality, embryo genetics, and the protocol a physician recommends. A single reporting year can swing for lower-volume clinics, so cumulative multi-year results and a candid consultation carry more weight than any one published number.

Frequently Asked Questions
Midwest Fertility Specialists's IVF success rate
Midwest Fertility Specialists reports an overall IVF success rate of 39.5% across 1,846 reported cycles. Rates by age group vary, patients under 35 generally see higher success rates.
How should I interpret these success rates?
IVF success rates depend on patient age, diagnosis, embryo type, and treatment protocol. A clinic with a lower success rate may treat more complex cases. Always consult a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist who can evaluate your individual situation.
Where does this data come from?
All data is sourced from the CDC's National ART Surveillance System (NASS), which requires all ART clinics in the US to report their cycle outcomes annually under the Fertility Clinic Success Rate and Certification Act of 1992.
What is the difference between fresh and frozen IVF cycles?
Fresh cycles use embryos that have not been frozen, eggs are retrieved, fertilized, and transferred within the same treatment cycle. Frozen cycles use previously cryopreserved embryos. Midwest Fertility Specialists reported 57 fresh cycles and 1,789 frozen cycles. Many clinics now favor frozen embryo transfers (FET) due to improved vitrification technology and comparable or higher success rates.
What does single embryo transfer (SET) percentage mean?
Single embryo transfer percentage indicates how often a clinic transfers just one embryo per cycle rather than multiple embryos. A higher SET rate generally reflects adherence to current ASRM guidelines aimed at reducing multiple pregnancies. Midwest Fertility Specialists reports a SET rate of 47.8%. Higher SET rates typically mean fewer twins and triplets, which reduces pregnancy complications.
Does this clinic offer donor egg or gestational carrier services?
Midwest Fertility Specialists does offer donor egg services and does offer gestational carrier (surrogate) services per the latest CDC NASS report. Contact the clinic directly to confirm current service availability and discuss whether these options are appropriate for your treatment plan.
