What success rates does Ovidrel achieve in IVF?
Ovidrel (choriogonadotropin alfa) is used in IVF to trigger final follicular maturation (its job is to help eggs mature at the right time for retrieval). Because it’s a trigger medication, “success rate of Ovidrel” depends heavily on the IVF clinic’s overall protocol and patient factors, not on the trigger alone.
Using Ovidrel as part of standard IVF trigger timing is common, but the success rate is usually reported as IVF outcomes (pregnancy, live birth, ongoing pregnancy) rather than as a standalone “Ovidrel success rate.” With only the information provided in your question, there isn’t a single reliable, universal percentage that can be stated for “Ovidrel success rate in IVF.”
What outcomes are typically used to measure IVF success after an Ovidrel trigger?
Clinics and studies usually track outcomes such as:
- Clinical pregnancy (a pregnancy confirmed by ultrasound)
- Ongoing pregnancy
- Live birth
- Miscarriage rate
- Number of mature eggs retrieved and fertilization/embryo development
Even when Ovidrel is the trigger, those outcomes reflect stimulation response, lab conditions, sperm/egg quality, embryo quality, uterine factors, and whether the cycle uses fresh transfer or frozen transfer.
Why the “success rate” varies so much from person to person
The IVF results after triggering with Ovidrel can differ widely based on:
- Age and ovarian reserve
- Baseline diagnosis (e.g., PCOS vs. tubal factor vs. male-factor infertility)
- Response to stimulation (how many follicles develop)
- Fertilization method (IVF vs. ICSI)
- How the clinic handles embryo selection and transfer strategy
- Whether the cycle is fresh or freeze-all
Because Ovidrel mainly changes timing of ovulation/egg maturity, it tends to affect downstream outcomes indirectly through how many eggs mature and are retrieved.
What you can ask your clinic to get the most relevant “success rate” number
If you want a number that matches your situation, ask your IVF clinic:
- Their pregnancy and live-birth rates for patients like you (age range, diagnosis, stimulation protocol)
- Their outcomes by trigger type (including whether they use Ovidrel/choriogonadotropin alfa for your protocol)
- Expected egg maturity and typical number of embryos for your cohort
- Their live-birth rate per transfer (especially if you’re doing fresh vs. frozen transfer)
If you meant “Ovidrel success” as triggering ovulation (not pregnancy)
People sometimes use “success rate” to mean the trigger worked as intended, such as:
- Appropriate timing of egg retrieval
- Adequate follicle rupture and mature oocytes (when measured)
In IVF cycles, clinics determine this operationally (retrieval results and egg maturity/number), not with a single universal “success rate” percentage for Ovidrel itself.

If you tell me your age (or age range), whether you’re doing fresh transfer vs. frozen, and whether the clinic uses IVF or ICSI, I can help you translate typical clinic outcome metrics into the most relevant measure of “success” for your situation.
