Success rates in the National IVF Program 2025

The pregnancy success rate through IVF is generally around 25–40%, depending on several individual factors.

At Genesis Athens, the success rate for IVF procedures exceeds 60%.

The success rate is influenced mainly by:

• the woman’s age;
• ovarian reserve;
• the quality of the embryos obtained.

Risks and medical recommendations

The most common risks associated with IVF procedures are related to emotional stress and multiple pregnancy.

Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome may also occur, caused by an exaggerated response of the ovaries to hormonal treatment.

At Genesis Athens Clinic, you are monitored closely throughout the entire treatment to reduce risks and ensure that you are in conditions of maximum safety.
