Figure 49 depicts two pie charts, A and B, representing risks of having multiple-fetus pregnancies and the risks of having multiple-infant live births from ART cycles using fresh embryos from donor eggs, 2008.

• Pie chart A represents 6,843 pregnancies.
  • Singletons: 52.4%
  • Total multiple-fetus pregnancies 42.4%, which is subdivided as follows:
    • Twins: 39.2%
    • Triplets or more: 3.2%
  • Not able to determine number of fetuses: 5.2%

• Pie chart B represents 5,894 live births. 
  • Singletons:  60.1%
  • Total multiple-infant live births 39.9%, which is subdivided as follows:
    • Twins: 38.6%
    • Triplets or more: 1.3%

Figure 50 is a bar graph representing percentages of transfers that resulted in live births and singleton live births for ART cycles using frozen donor embryos and ART cycles using fresh donor embryos, 2008.

• Frozen donor embryos is subdivided into the following two categories:
  • Transfers resulting in live births, 33.2%
  • Transfers resulting in singleton live births, 24.8%

• Fresh donor embryos is subdivided into the following two categories:
  • Transfers resulting in live births, 55.0%
  • Transfers resulting in singleton live births, 33.0%
