IVF Success Rates in Kerala: What to Expect

Typical Success Rate Ranges

Leading Kerala fertility centres, including Aster Medcity's fertility unit, report IVF success rates of roughly 40-50% per cycle for women under 35, declining progressively with age — figures broadly comparable to leading clinics in the US, UK, and Europe.

Age Is the Single Biggest Factor

Across every country, age affects IVF success more than any other single variable. Success rates for women over 40 using their own eggs typically drop to 10-20% per cycle, which is why fertility specialists often discuss donor egg or embryo options for older patients.

What Affects Success Beyond Age

Embryo quality, uterine receptivity, sperm quality, and underlying conditions like endometriosis or PCOS all influence outcomes. A thorough diagnostic workup before starting a cycle — rather than proceeding straight to treatment — improves the odds of a successful outcome.

Genetic Screening's Role

PGT-A (genetic screening of embryos before transfer) is available at major Kerala fertility centres and can improve success rates per transfer for some patient groups, particularly those with a history of recurrent miscarriage, by helping select embryos with the correct chromosome count.

Setting Realistic Expectations

Ask your fertility specialist for success rate data specific to your age group and diagnosis, not just the clinic's overall average — a clinic-wide success rate can be misleading if it blends very different patient profiles.
