How many applicants will be awarded a cycle during any particular review period?
There is no set minimum or maximum number of cycles that the Committee will grant in any given committee period. How many cycles awarded depends on how many have been donated. For example, the committee may have 25 applications to review. They will select approximately 30% as finalists. The number of cycles is like an ebb and flow. We have clinics coming on board with the program continually. Cycles are donated, recipients are chosen, matche then cycles are replaced with other donations. For example, in the first year of the program the Heart Committee reviewed more than 120 applicants and awarded approximately 45 IVF cycles to 39 recipients. There were 12 pregnancies, 5 miscarriages and 1 live birth. The selection rate (applicants as opposed to cycle recipients) during the first year was about 33%.
