Since it was established in 2005, the activities of the MAP Centre at the Clinique Générale-Beaulieu have grown continually. In 2010, 214 fresh cycles (IVF or ICSI) and 199 frozen cycles were performed which puts the MAP Centre in the top group for centres working in this field in Switzerland.
Fresh cycles
As for all centres in Switzerland, ICSI is the main technique prescribed at the MAP Centre.

In 2010, the mean age of MAP Centre patients was 36.0 years for women and 39.2 years for men.
2.2 embryos on average were returned to the women’s uterus for each fresh cycle transfer.
The clinic’s pregnancy rate per puncture and per transfer has been above the national average since 2005.
At 18.2%, the implantation rate is also higher than that in Swiss centres as a whole (16.9%).
In the great majority of cases, the pregnancies achieved at the MAP CENTRE are single-baby (75%).

Results of fresh cycles in relation to women’s age
As rates of natural pregnancy differ substantially depending on age, the impact of the woman’s age is also evident in medically assisted procreation.

Frozen cycles
In 2010, the mean age of women using frozen cycles was 35.8 years and the mean number of embryos per transfer was 2.6.
Clinical pregnancy rate by transfer and implantation has been slightly above the national average since 2006.
In the great majority of cases, the pregnancies achieved at the MAP Centre using frozen cycles are single-baby pregnancies (86%).
