Do success rates differ by age for women who used ART with donor eggs compared with women who used ART with their own eggs?

Figure 41 depicts two pie charts, A and B, representing the risk of having a multiple-fetus pregnancy and the risk of having a multiple-infant live birth from ART cycles using fresh embryos from donor eggs, 2003.

• Pie chart A represents 5,271 pregnancies

• Singletons 52.8%
• Total multiple-fetus pregnancies 42.8%, which are subdivided as follows:
  • Twins 36.3%
  • Triplets or more 6.5%
• Not able to determine number of fetuses because the pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage 4.5%

• Pie chart B represents 4,554 live births

• Singletons: 59.7%
• Total multiple-infant live births 40.4%, which are subdivided as follows:
  • Twins: 37.6%
  • Triplets or more: 2.8%
    
     

How do success rates differ between women who use frozen donor embryos and those who use fresh donor embryos?

Figure 42

• Frozen donor embryos (subject heading is divided into the following two categories):

  • Live births per transfer, 30.1%
  • Singleton live births per transfer, 22.3%

• Fresh donor embryos (subject heading is divided into the following two categories):

  • Live births per transfer, 50.8%
  • Singleton live births per transfer, 30.3%
