How to use this tool

1
Enter age at freezing

Age sets the default live birth rate per blastocyst.

2
Enter mature eggs frozen

Use mature (MII) eggs, not total retrieved.

3
Adjust rates in Advanced if you have clinic figures

Your clinic’s survival, fertilisation and blastocyst rates replace the defaults.

4
Read expected value and chance together

The average and the at-least-one chance answer different questions.

Formula & worked example

Chance per frozen egg = thaw survival × fertilisation rate × blastocyst rate × live birth per blastocyst. Expected live births = eggs × chance per egg. Chance of at least one live birth = 1 − (1 − chance per egg)^eggs. Default live birth per blastocyst by age at freezing: under 35: 45%, 35–37: 35%, 38–40: 25%, 41–42: 12%, over 42: 5%. Defaults for survival (90%), fertilisation (75%) and blastocyst formation (50%) are illustrative and adjustable in Advanced.

At 34, with 15 eggs, 90% survival, 75% fertilisation, 50% blastocyst formation and a 45% live birth rate per blastocyst, each egg has about a 15.2% chance, giving about 2.28 expected live births and about a 91% chance of at least one.

Limitations — read this before you rely on it

Illustrative model only, with broad average defaults. This tool is for education only and is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a substitute for professional assessment. It is not a personal prediction, does not account for individual medical factors, clinic variation or future treatment changes, and cannot replace fertility counselling.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on age, goals and how many children you hope for. This model lets you test numbers, but a clinic should advise on targets.

Egg quality and live birth per embryo fall with age, so the same egg count gives a lower chance at older ages.

They are broad illustrative averages; clinics vary, so replace them with your clinic’s figures where available.

No. No egg count guarantees a live birth, and later treatment success depends on many factors.

Thawing, fertilisation, embryo development and transfer all happen later; this tool models the whole chain in one calculation.
