Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust reports an overall live-birth rate of 24%, a little below the national average of 27%. Their strongest results are in the 38-39 age group, while the 35-37 band came in under the national figure for that range. As a lower-volume clinic, results here can vary more year to year than at a larger unit, so it's worth asking how many cycles they've run recently for patients in your age group and how that trend has looked over the past few years.
The rate quoted is a live-birth rate per embryo transferred, based on HFEA-verified regulated data from 2016-18. Two things are worth checking before comparing it against another clinic: whether a figure is calculated per embryo transferred or per cycle started, as these produce different-looking numbers, and which years the data covers. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust should be able to talk you through their own figures on this basis, which makes any side-by-side comparison much more reliable.
Worth raising directly: - What's included in the quoted price, and what add-on costs are typical? - What were your live-birth rates for my age group in the latest HFEA data? - How many cycles like mine do you carry out each year? None of these are unreasonable to ask, even though they can feel that way in the moment. A good consultant will expect this kind of question and answer it honestly rather than glossing over the detail.
