CDC reporting unit 490
Boston IVF, LLC
130 Second Ave, Waltham, MA 02451 · address reported for 2022.
Own-egg outcomes
Live-birth deliveries per intended retrieval, all diagnoses, for retrievals started in 2021 and linked transfers within 12 months. Age is at retrieval start. Native fractions and protected/missing states are preserved.
| Patient age | Published outcome | Matching intended retrievals |
|---|---|---|
| <35 | 52.5% | 1,264 |
| 35-37 | 39.0% | 1,054 |
| 38-40 | 26.8% | 1,021 |
| >40 | 8.5% | 659 |
Donor treatment outcomes
Live-birth deliveries per transfer in 2022, all recipient ages and all diagnoses. Donated embryos remain a separate population.
| Published transfer pathway | Published outcome | Matching transfers |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh Embryos Fresh Eggs | Hidden by CDC | 12 |
| Fresh Embryos Frozen Eggs | 46.1% | 178 |
| Frozen Embryos | 38.4% | 305 |
| Donated Embryos | 8 / 15 | 15 |
Combined donor-egg pathways: Hidden by CDC. Matching transfers: 495. This site weights the three donor-egg pathways by their matching transfer counts; a ~ marker identifies approximation from rounded published rates. Missing or protected active inputs prevent a combined rate.
Reported activity
Annual ART cycles are attempts, not unique patients. Unlinked and unavailable years remain gaps.

History and coverage, 2013–2022
Ten report years are checked individually. A missing or uncertain identity link stays a gap; it is not a zero or evidence of closure. Same reporting ID does not establish unchanged staff or office coverage. Calendar-year fresh-cycle measures and cumulative retrieval cohorts are different populations.
| Report year | Coverage | Native reporting name | Explanation |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | not linked | No confirmed match | No corroborated source reporting-unit match in this edition; not evidence of zero activity or nonexistence. |
| 2014 | not linked | No confirmed match | No corroborated source reporting-unit match in this edition; not evidence of zero activity or nonexistence. |
| 2015 | not linked | No confirmed match | No corroborated source reporting-unit match in this edition; not evidence of zero activity or nonexistence. |
| 2016 | identity review required | No confirmed match | No unique, reciprocally exclusive exact name/city/contact match. No outcome continuity is inferred. |
| 2017 | reported | BOSTON IVF, LLC | Native source link; reporting identity does not establish unchanged staff or office coverage. |
