What is the success rate of the IVF technique of reproduction in humans?

In vitro fertilization, as its name-fertilization is done by fusing ova from female donors and sperm from the male donor outside the body under strict laboratory conditions. This results in a zygote or famously known as a test-tube baby. After the embryo culturing, an embryo is transferred to the uterus of the mother. This method is commonly performed in the case of women with damaged or clogged Fallopian tubes. According to the reports published in 2018, a woman who is under age 35 and undergoes IVF has a 50% chance of having a baby, while a woman over age 42 has a 3.9% chance.
