Online calculator to predict chances of success for couples planning IVF : A team of scientists from the Department of reproductive health and maternal medicine at the University of Glasgow and Bristol, the United Kingdom, an online calculator that predict successful IVF success rates at birth developed woman undergoing IVF treatment.

It should be noted that IVF treatment is expensive and the success rate is not 100 percent, and as such the online calculator is very important.

"Successful in the United States and the United Kingdom, about one third of IVF in women under 35, but only 5% -10% of women over 40 years," said Professor Scott Nelson University of Glasgow, who is also one of the authors of the study .


"There are many other factors besides age that can affect your chances of success, and clinics are generally not included in guidance for couples or women, he warned.

Professor Gordon Smith, chief of obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Cambridge said: "It is a real need to try in medicine to replace general statements such as" high risk "and" happiness "validated with many, quantitative estimates of the probability, as we with Down's syndrome screening have. "
