Questions people ask about Ninewells Hospital

Written in PATH's voice from this clinic's published HFEA data — reviewed before publishing, never generated live.

Is Ninewells Hospital a good option for my age bracket?

Ninewells Hospital reports an overall live birth rate of 32%, above the national average of 27%, an above average HFEA tier. The 38-39 age band performs strongest here, at 30% versus a national 26%, while under-35 patients trail furthest behind, at 13% against 38% nationally. As Ninewells Hospital runs a low volume of cycles, it's worth asking directly how consistent these results have been across recent years, particularly for your own age band.

What's behind the success rate quoted for Ninewells Hospital?

The figure is the live birth rate per embryo transferred, taken from HFEA-verified regulated data covering 2016 to 2018, describing outcomes across many patients rather than forecasting any individual result. Two checks worth making before comparing it with another clinic: whether both rates are quoted per embryo transferred or per cycle started, as these differ meaningfully, and which years each figure actually spans. A hospital confident in its data will clarify both readily.

What should I ask Ninewells Hospital before booking an appointment?

Useful questions to bring directly to Ninewells Hospital: - 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? Given the low cycle volume here, that last question helps you read the headline rate with the right context. A good consultant will welcome these questions and not brush past them.
