Figure 47 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, 2005.

• Pie chart A represents 5,877 pregnancies
  • Singletons: 52.6%
  • Total multiple-fetus pregnancies 42.4%, which is subdivided as follows:
    • Twins: 37.8%
    • Triplets or more: 4.6%
  • Not able to determine number of fetuses because the pregnancy ended in an early miscarriage: 5.0%
• Pie chart B represents 5,043 live births
  • Singletons: 59.2%
  • Total multiple-infant live births 40.8%, which is subdivided as follows:
    • Twins: 38.9%
    • Triplets or more: 1.9%

Figure 48: How do success rates differ between women who use frozen donor embryos and those who use fresh donor embryos?

Figure 48 is a bar graph representing the success rates for ART cycles using frozen donor and fresh donor embryos, 2005.

• Frozen donor embryos is subdivided into the following two categories:
  • Transfers resulting in live births, 30.9%
  • Transfers resulting in singleton live births, 22.6%
• Fresh donor embryos is subdivided into the following two categories:
  • Transfers resulting in live births, 52.3%
  • Transfers resulting in singleton live births, 30.9%
