IVF success rates are often the first thing people search when starting fertility treatment. But what do those numbers actually tell us, and just as importantly, what do they miss?
In this episode, CREI fertility specialist Dr Raelia Lew unpacks the latest IVF success rate data, released in 2025. Dr Raelia explains how success is measured, why the data is always years behind, and how modern IVF practices like embryo freezing and banking are not properly reflected in the numbers patients see online.
If you are navigating IVF, choosing a clinic, or feeling confused or discouraged by statistics, this is an essential listen to help you understand the data with clarity and context.
