Age & ovarian reserve
The single most important factor. With AMH testing and ultrasound we assess your starting position precisely.
Our success rates.
Honest figures instead of vague promises: here we show how many treatments at our institute lead to success – and explain what these figures mean for your personal situation.

Why we publish our figures
Hardly any question concerns fertility patients more than this one: "What are our chances?" Yet very few institutes publish their results. We believe you have a right to honest figures – and to an honest explanation of what they mean.
One thing first: a success rate is an average across many patients. Your personal chance depends on age, ovarian reserve, cause and other factors – it can be well above or below the average. That is exactly what we discuss in your first consultation.
Pregnancy rate per embryo transfer by age
We count success as a clinical pregnancy per embryo transfer – the most honest metric for a single treatment step. Our current internal analysis across all age groups: 56% of our couples achieved a biochemical and around 44% a clinical pregnancy – calculated per embryo transfer across one or several attempts. We will add the breakdown by age group here on an ongoing basis.
Behind these numbers stands what has counted since 1983: over 30,000 children born – and a team that does not shy away from difficult starting positions. We are happy to discuss your personal prognosis in a first consultation.
Context
What the figures mean
We count success as a clinical pregnancy per embryo transfer – a pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound. This is the most meaningful and honest metric for a single treatment step.
Just as important is the perspective across several cycles: the cumulative chance rises considerably with each further attempt. Many couples whose first transfer does not succeed hold their longed-for baby after the second or third attempt.
Compare with care
Why clinic comparisons are misleading
Success rates of different institutes are only comparable to a limited extent: a centre that mainly treats young patients with a good prognosis automatically reports higher rates than one that also takes on difficult cases.
For over 40 years we have also treated complex situations – recurrent miscarriage, advanced age, genetic questions with our own genetics laboratory. We are proud of that, even if it does not flatter the average figure.
Your personal chance
These factors influence success.
Cause
Whether hormonal, anatomical, male-factor or unexplained: the cause determines the best method – and the prognosis.
Personalised treatment
Individually tailored stimulation and modern laboratory techniques get the maximum out of every cycle.
Genetics
Chromosomal testing of embryos (PGT-A) can increase the chance per transfer and reduce miscarriages.
Lifestyle
Weight, smoking, nutrition and stress have a measurable effect – we offer nutritional and holistic counselling.
Perseverance
The cumulative chance across several cycles is your strongest ally. We accompany you along the whole journey.
„Nachdem wir schon andere Institute ausprobiert hatten, sind wir beim Wif gelandet. Wir waren in besten Händen. Trotz Misserfolgen waren die Mitarbeiter immer sehr um uns bemüht und nach einigen Monaten stellte sich endlich ein Erfolg ein. Vielen Dank!“
Frequently asked questions
Understanding success rates.
What does a success rate say about my personal chance?
It is an average across many patients with different circumstances. We determine your individual prognosis in the first consultation based on age, ovarian reserve (AMH), findings and history – it can differ considerably from the average, in both directions.
Why do success rates differ between clinics?
Mainly because of different patient profiles: age, the share of difficult cases and the question of which metric is reported at all (pregnancy per transfer, per cycle, per retrieval) make comparisons difficult. Always check exactly what is being counted.
Do my chances increase over several attempts?
Yes, considerably. The cumulative success rate over two to three cycles is well above that of a single transfer. That is why we plan realistically with you beyond the individual attempt from the very beginning.
What can I do myself to improve my chances?
Do not smoke, avoid alcohol, aim for a healthy weight and reduce stress – and do not postpone your wish for a child too long. Our complementary medicine services and nutritional counselling offer support.
Does genetic testing of embryos increase the success rate?
Preimplantation genetic testing (PGT-A) can increase the chance per transfer and lower the risk of miscarriage, because chromosomally normal embryos are transferred. Whether it is appropriate and permissible in your situation is clarified in the genetic consultation.
