For individuals and couples navigating the complexities of infertility, the journey toward parenthood can feel like traversing uncharted territory, one that’s filled with a lot of queries and lack of answers looming in the background.

In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) stands out as a ray of hope for many couples struggling with infertility in India. However, despite the growing popularity of the treatment, there seems to be a lot of misinformation as well, especially regarding IVF success rates under 35 and how age plays a factor in the overall success rate.

This detailed guide from Prime IVF Centre in Gurgaon will discuss the science behind the numbers, explore contributing factors and explore the details behind IVF success rates under the age of 35.

Which Factors Explain the Importance of Age in IVF Success Rates?

Among all the different factors that contribute to the success rate of an IVF cycle, age is certainly the most important – both of the male and the female partner.

Especially in case of women, with age, there is a steep fertility decline, which affects:

Egg quantity (ovarian reserve)
Egg quality (chromosomal integrity)
Hormonal balance

Women who are under 35 years usually have better ovarian reserve and higher quality eggs, which translates to higher success rates, usually over 50% per IVF cycle.

What Does Data Suggest Regarding IVF Success Rates Under 35?

Leading health bodies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART), suggest that women under the age of 35 have the highest IVF success rates among all age groups.

Here’s what reports suggest:

Live birth rate per IVF cycle for women under 35: 40% to 55%
Cumulative live birth rate (after three cycles): 40% to 60%

These numbers are significantly higher when compared to other older age brackets undergoing IVF cycles. For example:

Women aged 35–37 have a success rate of around 30%–40%
Women aged 38–40 have about 20%–30%
Women over 40 have less than 10% success per cycle

This is one of the primary reasons why our fertility specialists at Prime IVF emphasise on earlier interventions if you suspect fertility concerns since the IVF success rate is the highest in case of women that are under the age of 35.

When IVF Under 35 Might Still Be Challenging?

While the odds are in your favor, success isn’t guaranteed. Some challenges may still occur:

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
Unexplained infertility
Endometriosis
Male factor infertility
Genetic conditions

Even in such cases, early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve results. That’s why choosing a center with a proven track record like Prime IVF Centre in Delhi is crucial.

What are the Common Factors Influencing IVF Success Rates Under 35?

While age is the primary determinant when it comes to IVF success, it is not the only deciding factor in the IVF success rate.

The following are some of the primary elements that equally play a significant role:

Factors influencing IVF success rates	How does it influence?
Ovarian reserve	Women are born with a finite number of eggs, so with age, the ovarian reserve, which indicates the quality and quantity of the eggs, depletes. A higher ovarian reserve generally correlates with a greater number of eggs retrieved, potentially leading to more embryos available for transfer during the IVF cycle.
Sperm quality	Not just the women’s eggs, even the quality of the sperm determines the success rates of an IVF cycle. Factors like sperm count, motility, morphology, and DNA fragmentation can impact fertilisation and embryo development.
Embryo quality	Following successful fertilisation of the egg and sperm, the vitality and development of the sperm also influences the success rates of the IVF cycle. Besides the morphology, even the skills of the fertility specialists and the technologies used influence the quality of the embryo.
Uterine health	A successful implantation is crucial for the success of the IVF cycle. So, a healthy uterus is vital and is common in women under the age of 35.
Lifestyle factors	The kind of lifestyle you lead will also influence the IVF success. Habits like smoking, alcohol, junk food, inactive lifestyle might influence reproductive health, affecting the success of the cycle.
Underlying chronic ailments	If you have diagnosed (or undiagnosed) chronic complications like polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, autoimmune disorders, etc., these can also influence the fertility and IVF success.
Expertise of the IVF clinic	The experience and expertise of the IVF clinic, including the embryologists, reproductive endocrinologists, and support staff, play a vital role and you get to experience the best of it at Prime IVF.

Does Emotional and Psychological Well-Being Affect IVF Success?

The medical and reproductive side of an IVF cycle often takes priority, both for the couple and the fertility specialist working with them.

However, while the physical well-being of the patient factors majorly into the success of an IVF cycle, emotional and psychological well-being has an equally important role.

The IVF process can be physically demanding, emotionally draining, and financially challenging. This explains the need for strong emotional support, counseling, and a supportive clinic environment are essential for navigating this journey, which we prioritise for our patients at Prime IVF.

When the couple is stress-free and emotionally perceptive to the procedure and has realistic expectations regarding the outcomes, it significantly contributes to the success rate of the IVF cycle, ensuring favourable outcomes.
