PREGNANCY RELATED TO INFERTILITY DIAGNOSIS, NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS, AND AGE IN A PROGRAM OF INVITRO FERTILIZATION

Abstract

Three hundred nineteen infertility patients who did not become pregnant with standard therapies presented to Norfolk for in vitro fertilization between Jan. 1981 and Dec. 1983. There were 560 laparoscopic cycles with 105 pregnancies. The pregnancy rate was 18.8% by cycle, 24.5% by transfer and 33% by patient. The overall pregnancy rate was found to be independent of infertility diagnosis, age and number of attempts.
