SUCCESS RATE
Last six years has been years of vigorous efforts for more precise technology, strict quality management, periodical evaluation and analyses of results including comparisons with leading European IVF centers. These efforts keep bearing their fruit. By spring 2008 our large family has celebrated a happy event – its thousandth child. We are expecting the birth of our fourteen hundredth child during the summer of 2009. .
Treatment quality and the results allow us to guarantee success. Therefore, if a woman does not get pregnant during three IVF cycles at our Clinic, we will provide the fourth cycle free of charge.

The donated oocyte program keeps gaining importance. It offers help to women in various age categories and the general trend in reproduction health indicates its growing necessity. For each patient in need of treatment with the use of donated oocytes a matching donor is elected. All of our donors are selected and tested according to strict American criteria for donation of gametes and embryos. At present, we have a sufficient number of suitable tested volunteer donors, thus the treatment can be started at any time without delay.
The donors are young females between the age of 20 and 30, thus of optimal reproductive age. This allows us to achieve a success rate of 40 to 50% with our Oocyte Donation program, depending on the semen quality, regardless of the age of the recipient.
We have treated 119 couples as part of out oocyte donation program in the calendar year 2008 and achieved 59 pregnancies (success rate of 49,6%).
We are aware of the fact that reproduction medicine is constantly developing. This development brings about joy from the success achieved, while it motivates us not to stop and continue in our ongoing efforts.
This way, we allow the partners to fulfill their dream of having a child.
