56% of patients having IVF with a blastocyst (5-day embryo) transfer achieved a pregnancy.
Martyn Blayney, Head of Science, said: “I am immensely proud to present the Cambridge clinical pregnancy rates for 2020, which, when viewed overall, represent the best performance we have ever recorded.
“This is an immense achievement when you consider that we were locked down for several months of the year and had to adapt to working in a global pandemic.”

"Six years ago, this tiny bundle of cells was taken from the deep freeze. Six years later, she is the most amazing, clever, polite and beautiful girl I have ever met. When she grows up she wants to be a ballerina police woman. She is the light of my life, my best friend and my sidekick.
I’m forever amazed and forever grateful to Bourn Hall for giving me the chance to be a mummy. Something we so desperately wanted for so long. Our journey was hard but my god was it worth it. Happy six year transfer anniversary to us. I’ll say it every year, but thank you so much for giving me my best friend.
She really was frozen before Elsa made it cool! ❄️”
