The data in this table refers to full-term pregnancies from oocyte retrieval (pick-up) obtained by C.M.R. through Heterologous ART; all pregnancies that began but did not result in a birth have been deliberately excluded, thus differentiating ourselves from all centers that report results related to total pregnancies, including miscarriages.
This choice was made as it is the most accurate way to allow couples to understand the real possibility of holding a baby after a single IVF-ICSI cycle.
Age | % BIRTHS per Oocyte Retrieval |

35-36 | 55.56% |

Age is a very important factor affecting the success rates of treatments.
Customizing hormonal stimulation to meet each patient's needs and having a state-of-the-art in vitro fertilization laboratory, where embryos develop under the best possible conditions, allows CMR to achieve very high success rates that are above the national average.

In recent decades, motherhood has increasingly been postponed, especially in Italy, where fewer women are able to have a child between the ages of 28 and 35. Egg donation currently represents the assisted reproductive technique with the highest success rates, as using a young donor (20-35) helps to overcome the main infertility factor, which is maternal age.
At CMR, the percentage of positive results for babies in arms with a single egg donation cycle is 72%.
Extremely advanced laboratory procedures (blastocyst culture and preimplantation genetic testing) aim to provide valuable information on the viability and genetic makeup of the embryo, allowing us to identify the one with the highest implantation potential and the minimum risk of causing a miscarriage after transfer to the uterus.
The reported data refers to the percentage of live births from the transfer of an embryo deemed normal based on genetic analysis.
The quality of our center's work is also assessed by the effectiveness of the gamete and embryo cryopreservation program. A high efficiency in cryopreservation results in a greater survival rate of embryos after thawing and a higher likelihood of implantation.

The use of advanced clinical/operative techniques and cutting-edge technological support, along with a strong personalization of the entire process, has allowed us to significantly reduce the risk of miscarriage compared to the Italian average.

The center's priority is to offer couples safe and effective treatments for both the mother and the newborn.
The transfer of a single blastocyst, or a euploid blastocyst (in the case of preimplantation genetic diagnosis), has allowed us to reduce the incidence of multiple pregnancies compared to the Italian average. This has been made possible thanks to essential equipment such as the time-lapse incubator and advanced, standardized laboratory techniques.
A lower incidence of multiple pregnancies ensures greater safety for both mother and child and a reduced risk of complications that such pregnancies can cause.

CMR, with a view to continuous improvement and to ensure couples a high standard of quality in the specialized healthcare provided, has been applying a quality management system to its healthcare processes since 2011, guaranteed by the UNI EN ISO 9001-2015 Certification.
According to these principles, the Center has sought to submit its results and the entire IVF process to the verification of a third-party Certification body (Certiquality Milan) in compliance with current Italian and European regulations.
The staff at CMR is here to support you through the activation of an ONLINE CONSULTATION desk, where they will answer all your questions to establish a first approach and begin an important journey together.
