Fertility clinic success rates

In 2004, the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society released birth rates at most Canadian fertility clinics. See the results at http://cfas.ca/english/news/dec5_2004.asp. Clinics may also publish their recent success rates on their Web sites. See a listing of fertility clinics on the Canadian Online IVF Resource Network (http://www.ivf.ca).

When evaluating fertility treatment centres, ask about their rate of live deliveries or live births. You should be able to easily get a copy of a clinic's statistics. If you cannot, you may want to consider another clinic.
