What the 2022 CDC file says about Boston IVF, LLC The Maine Center
Boston IVF, LLC The Maine Center reported 811 assisted reproductive technology cycles to the CDC for 2022. It is the only Maine clinic with a page in this directory, and those cycles are 100% of the 811 reported across the state. The clinic operates in South Portland and CDC listed its status for the 2022 reporting year as open.
24 of those cycles were for fertility preservation, the CDC category that covers egg and embryo banking including elective egg freezing. That is 3% of the clinic's 2022 cycles, well below the 9.2% national share. Across Maine, the 1 clinic that published a preservation figure reported 24 such cycles out of 811 cycles between them.
CDC splits the clinic's 2022 cycles by patient age: 325 for patients aged under 35, 239 for patients aged 35 to 37, 188 for patients aged 38 to 40 and 59 for patients aged over 40.
Among patients under 35, 1.3% of intended egg-retrieval cycles at Boston IVF, LLC The Maine Center ended without any eggs retrieved, against 4.7% nationally. That measure is the closest thing the CDC file holds to a cancelled-cycle rate, and it is the risk an egg-freezing patient carries when a cycle is paid for up front.
On the 2022 services return the clinic reported offering egg cryopreservation, embryo cryopreservation, donor egg services, donated embryo services and gestational carrier services. It was recorded as a member of the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology, and CDC recorded its laboratory accreditation as verified. 1 of the 1 Maine clinic in the 2022 file was a SART member.
For patients using their own eggs, CDC's cumulative measure of intended retrievals resulting in live-birth deliveries was 53.9% for patients under 35 (49.7% nationally), 40.7% for patients 35 to 37 (36.3% nationally), 36.9% for patients 38 to 40 (23.1% nationally) and 12.5% for patients over 40 (7.7% nationally). These are treatment outcomes, not egg-freezing outcomes, and they reflect who each clinic treats as much as how it treats them.
The nearest reporting clinics are Boston IVF - The NH Center in Bedford (75.5 miles), Fertility Centers of New England, Inc., New England Clinics of Reproductive Medicine, Inc. in Reading (85.8 miles) and Massachusetts General Hospital Fertility Center in Boston (94.8 miles). A patient comparing quotes in South Portland is usually choosing between these on price and protocol as much as on published outcomes.
Cycles and retrieval outcomes by patient age
CDC measure names are used verbatim. The final column is the CDC national figure for the same 2022 measure, for context rather than comparison.
| CDC measure (2022) | Under 35 | 35 to 37 | 38 to 40 | Over 40 | All ages | National, all ages |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total number of cycles | 325 | 239 | 188 | 59 | 811 | 435,426 |
| Percentage of intended egg retrieval cycles without any eggs retrieved | 1.3% | 3.4% | 9.1% | 15.2% | 5.0% | 8.5% |
| Percentage of cycles discontinued after retrieval and before transfer or banking | 17.0% | 17.0% | 20.7% | 9.3% | 17.3% | 11.6% |
| Percentage of cycles for fertility preservation | 3.1% | 3.8% | 2.7% | 0.0% | 3.0% | 9.2% |
| Percentage of transfers using frozen embryos | 81.6% | 89.3% | 91.6% | 86.2% | 86.0% | 86.9% |
Cumulative outcomes for patients using their own eggs, 2022
CDC's own stratified measures for Boston IVF, LLC The Maine Center, all patients with or without prior ART cycles, alongside the CDC national figure for the same age band. These describe IVF treatment in 2022, not the odds of a future live birth from eggs frozen today.
| CDC measure (2022) | Under 35 | 35 to 37 | 38 to 40 | Over 40 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of intended retrievals | 167 | 86 | 84 | 32 |
| Percentage of intended retrievals resulting in live-birth deliveries | 53.9% | 40.7% | 36.9% | 12.5% |
| Percentage of intended retrievals resulting in singleton live-birth deliveries | 49.1% | 40.7% | 33.3% | 12.5% |
| Percentage of new patients having live-birth deliveries after 1 intended retrieval | 60.0% | 41.8% | 45.3% | */16 |
| Percentage of new patients having live-birth deliveries after all intended retrievals | 63.8% | 50.9% | 52.8% | */16 |
| National, same measure (Percentage of intended retrievals resulting in live-birth deliveries) | 49.7% | 36.3% | 23.1% | 7.7% |
Transfers using donor eggs, donor embryos or donated embryos
The row that matters most to someone freezing eggs is Fresh Embryos Frozen Eggs: transfers made from eggs that were frozen, thawed and then fertilised. It is the only place in the CDC file where thawed frozen eggs produce a published outcome, and it covers donor eggs rather than a patient's own frozen eggs, so read it as evidence that vitrified eggs work rather than as a personal probability.
| Egg or embryo type | Number of transfers | Percentage of transfers resulting in live-birth deliveries | National, same measure |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fresh Embryos Fresh Eggs | 0 | No cycles reported | 52.0% |
| Fresh Embryos Frozen Eggs | 0 | No cycles reported | 45.2% |
| Frozen Embryos | 11 | 6/11 | 45.1% |
| Donated Embryos | * | */* | 42.2% |
How to read these numbers
A clinic's published success rate is driven as much by which patients it accepts as by how well it treats them. A clinic that takes on older patients, patients with diminished ovarian reserve, or patients who have already failed cycles elsewhere will report lower rates than a clinic that treats a younger, easier case mix, whatever the quality of its laboratory. CDC stratifies by patient age for exactly this reason, and still warns that comparing clinics on these figures can be misleading. Read them as a description of a clinic's caseload, not as a ranking.
CDC suppresses any cell built on a reported sample size of 1 to 4, and also suppresses cells that could be used to work a suppressed value back out. That applies to plain counts as well as to rates: 62 clinics in the 2022 file have their fertility-preservation cycle count withheld. Suppressed cells appear here exactly as CDC published them, shown as * or as a fraction with a suppressed numerator such as */17. Where a rate has a denominator under 20, CDC prints a fraction such as 8/15 instead of a percentage; those fractions are passed through unchanged. This site never estimates a suppressed value and never reconstructs one from surrounding figures.
These are 2022 treatment outcomes, the most recent final clinic-level year CDC has published. Egg freezing itself sits in the CDC data as fertility-preservation cycles and as egg cryopreservation on the services return; CDC does not publish a live-birth rate for elective egg freezing, because most people who freeze eggs have not yet come back to use them. Nothing on this page is a price quote, an endorsement, or medical advice.

What a cycle costs around here
CDC publishes no prices, so the cost context below comes from this site's own verified pricing work rather than from the 2022 file. Egg freezing in Maine typically runs $12,000 to $20,000 per cycle all in, covering the retrieval, medications and the first year of storage. Maine has no comprehensive state fertility mandate, so coverage usually comes through an employer benefit if it comes at all.
Ask Boston IVF, LLC The Maine Center for a written quote that separates the cycle fee, the medications, the vitrification fee and storage after year one. The four are priced separately by most clinics and a headline figure often covers only the first.
