    Explanation:
    Pregnancy rates calculated by the presence of an intrauterine pregnancy sac on ultrasound. We exclude all pregnancies that are biochemical only - and require documentation by ultrasound to confirm the pregnancy for reporting purposes.
    Single Embryo Transfers are encouraged in good prognosis situations
