The IVF success rate depends on the age of the woman and the cause of infertility. The success rate reaches 70% for every embryo transfer attempt in women younger than 35 years. In vitro fertilization leads to a live-birth in 90% of cases if the couple does not give up.

Embryo implantation is a very complex process involving many factors related to the embryo itself, to the uterus and to the uterine conditions. In contrast to what patients think, embryo glue is not really a GLUE, it is a substance that is added to the transfer media that is suggested to protect the embryo during the transfer process and to increase its chances of implantation. The efficiency of this substance is still debated and it does not guarantee implantation.

The duration of freezing does not affect embryo or egg quality. One day of freezing is equivalent to a hundred years. In the past a lot of embryos or eggs used to degenerate during the freezing or the thawing process. However, with the emergence of vitrification, egg and embryo survival rates have become higher than 90%. Few months ago, a baby was born from an embryo that was frozen 30 years ago.
