Fertility and IVF calculators

Every calculator in one place, free and with no sign-up. Results show instantly — we don't hide them behind a form. Each one explains what the number means, where the reference ranges come from, and what it cannot tell you.

How these differ from other calculators

Common questions

Second opinion

Bring your numbers to someone who can see the rest

A calculator sees three or four figures. A specialist sees your history, your scans, your partner's results, and how you actually responded to treatment. If you're between cycles, changing clinics, or something in your results doesn't add up, a second opinion is the fastest way to find out whether anything would be done differently.

Free first consultation. No obligation to start treatment, and it doesn't affect your care at your current clinic.

These tools provide general information and are not a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment by a qualified clinician. Reference ranges and sources are stated on each calculator. Predictive estimates describe groups of people and cannot predict an individual outcome.

‹ IVF success and prediction

Donor egg success

Why donor outcomes track the donor age rather than yours.

Population estimateAn average for people with your inputs, not a prediction for you. Individual outcomes vary widely around it.

yearsDonor ageyearsRecipient age=resultDonor egg success (% per transfer)
In short

Donor egg outcomes track the age of the donor rather than the recipient, because egg quality is the dominant factor in embryo viability. Recipient age affects uterine receptivity, but far more gradually — which is why donor programmes change the picture sharply for people in their forties.

Source — Donor programme outcomes vary substantially between units and are not well captured by any single published figure. Ask any clinic for its own live birth rate per transfer for its donor programme, broken down by donor age.

Questions this usually raises

Why does my age barely matter?

Because the dominant factor in embryo quality is the age of the egg. Uterine receptivity does decline, but far more gradually than egg quality does.

Are donors anonymous in India?

Yes. Under the ART Act 2021 donors are anonymous, donation is regulated through registered ART banks, and a donor may donate only once. If your home country grants donor-conceived people a right to identifying information at 18, that difference is worth thinking through.

What figures should I ask a clinic for?

Live birth rate per transfer for its own donor programme, the typical donor age range, and how many cycles that figure is based on. A clinic quoting only a general donor success rate is not telling you much.

Or ask someone
  • A free first consultation covers this properly, with your actual results rather than an estimate
  • Both partners assessed together — male factor is involved in roughly half of cases

This explains how donor outcomes behave rather than predicting yours. Ask your clinic for its own donor programme figures — they are the only numbers that describe what you would actually be offered. Nothing here is a diagnosis or a substitute for assessment by a clinician.
