Answer
Success rates for IVF/ICSI are very dependent on several factors:  the clinic performing the procedure, the number of good quality embryos available, the number of embryos transferred, the medication protocols used and the age ofthe patient.  Also, rates vary by country.

I hope this answers your questions,
