Donor insemination (DI) - chance of success

Female fertility diminishes with age, so if you are using your own eggs, on average, the younger you are, the higher your chances of success.

In the year from 01/01/2009 - 31/12/2009, for women receiving donor insemination (DI) - including intrauterine insemination (IUI) and GIFT - the percentage of cycles started that resulted in a live birth was:

  • 15.0% for women aged under 35
  • 11.4% for women aged 35-37
  • 8.2% for women agend 38-39 
  • 5.9% for women aged 40-42
  • 0.7%  for women aged 43-44
  • 0% for women aged 45 and over
