Key Factors Behind IVF Success: Why Results Differ from One IVF Centre to Another
For many, IVF is not just a medical treatment—it’s a deeply personal journey filled with hope, determination, and resilience. Choosing the right IVF centre can be one of the most important decisions you make along the way. While success rates often dominate the conversation, what lies beneath those figures matters even more.
Choosing the Right IVF Centre – What Really Counts
Selecting an IVF centre is a personal decision that can greatly influence the outcome of your fertility journey. While it’s natural to look at success rates first, it’s important to go beyond headline numbers and focus on live birth rates rather than pregnancy rates alone. Make sure the statistics you review are relevant to your age group and treatment type—whether that’s ICSI, egg donation, or frozen embryo transfers.
Transparency should be non-negotiable. Costs should be clearly outlined upfront, with a breakdown of what’s included in a standard cycle and any potential extras. The centre should be open about risks, timelines, and success rates without making unrealistic promises.
Medical expertise and technology are equally vital. Look for an IVF centre that offers treatment plans tailored to your unique circumstances, not a one-size-fits-all model. Advanced laboratories using tools like time-lapse incubation, genetic screening, and AI-assisted embryo selection can significantly improve results. It’s also worth checking whether the centre has experience with more complex cases, such as recurrent implantation failure, PCOS, or endometriosis.
The IVF centre should provide all the treatment options you may need. Not every centre offers services like egg or sperm donation and fertility preservation. These services often require specific protocols and legal expertise, so the centre should demonstrate proven competence in these areas.
The quality of care and emotional support is another critical consideration. Our IVF centre has a team that includes fertility specialists, embryologists, and dedicated support staff. Having a personal coordinator to guide you through the process can make a big difference. We have Counselling services which are a bonus, as IVF can be emotionally demanding.
Finally, think about location, accessibility, and waiting times. If you’ll be making multiple visits, convenience matters. For patients coming from abroad, remote consultations and help with travel arrangements are a big plus.
Some IVF centres focus on high patient volumes and efficiency, while others emphasise personalisation and precision. These differences can significantly influence success rates. At Nectar Gyn & Fertiity Centre in Kenya, every detail—from stimulation protocols to laboratory practices—is designed with a clear goal of giving every patient the best chance of becoming a parent.
Beyond “Personalized” – Truly Tailored IVF Treatment
Personalized care is common in fertility Centre’s, yet many IVF centres still rely on standardised protocols. While this approach may be convenient for the centre, it’s not always in the patient’s best interest.
Nectar Gyn & Fertiity Centre takes personalisation further. Treatment plans are adapted in real time, with doctors monitoring hormone levels throughout the stimulation phase and adjusting medications as needed.
This hands-on approach takes more time and resources, but it often leads to higher-quality eggs and better synchronisation between the embryo and the uterus.
Advanced Laboratory Technology – Supporting Every Embryo
The embryology lab is the heart of IVF, and its quality can mean the difference between success and failure. Nectar Gyn & Fertiity Centre’s lab uses advanced technology to create the best environment for embryo development. Time-lapse incubators allow embryos to be monitored without disturbance, while low-oxygen culture systems mimic natural conditions inside the reproductive tract.
Safety is a priority. The lab’s team of experienced embryologists handles everything from standard IVF to complex procedures like ICSI, PGT-A, embryo vitrification, and donation cycles.
When IVF Cases Are More Complex
Not all IVF journeys are straightforward. Some patients face medical or biological challenges that require advanced expertise and specialized care. Complex cases can include:
- Advanced maternal age
- Low ovarian reserve
- Endometriosis
- Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
- Severe male factor infertility
- Repeated implantation failure
- Recurrent pregnancy loss
- Genetic disorders
- Uterine abnormalities
- Multiple failed IVF attempts
