What are the success rates for NaProTechnology and RRM?
FoundationalRRM success rates vary by condition and couple-specific factors, with published studies showing crude live birth rates of 26 to 41% and adjusted cumulative rates of 50 to 62%, while measuring both reproductive restoration and overall health outcomes.
Success in Restorative Reproductive Medicine means more than pregnancy rates. RRM clinicians track multiple outcomes: symptom resolution, cycle normalization, hormonal balance restoration, and conception rates for couples seeking pregnancy. This approach differs from ART facilities that primarily report live birth rates per procedure.
Published research on NaProTechnology protocols shows variable results by condition. Sanchez-Mendez et al. (2025) studied 1,310 couples and reported a crude take-home baby rate of 35.3% and an adjusted cumulative rate of 62.1%, varying by age (83.7% for ages 18-30, 53.3% for ages 36-40). Boyle et al. (2025) reported a 41% crude live birth rate in 187 couples at NeoFertility Dublin, with a mean time to conception of 12 months. These numbers reflect couples who achieved pregnancy naturally after RRM treatment, not through assisted reproductive technology.
- Stanford et al. (2008): 25.5% crude, 52.8% adjusted live birth rate (n=1,072, Irish general practice)
- Tham et al. (2012): 38% crude live birth rate (n=108, Canadian family practice)
- Boyle et al. (2025): 41% crude live birth rate (n=187, first RRM-vs-IVF comparison)
- Sanchez-Mendez et al. (2025): 35.3% crude, 62.1% adjusted take-home baby rate (n=1,310)
What RRM Measures Differently
RRM success extends beyond conception rates to include cycle regularity, pain reduction, energy improvement, and halting disease progression. Couples often report significant quality of life improvements even when pregnancy is not the primary goal. The cause-based approach means addressing root reproductive dysfunction, not just bypassing it.
Individual success depends on multiple factors: age, specific diagnosis, treatment compliance, male factor involvement, and how long conditions went undiagnosed. RRM clinicians provide personalized prognosis based on thorough evaluation, not population averages.
RRM success rates reflect thorough reproductive health restoration, measured through multiple outcomes including natural conception rates, symptom resolution, and cycle normalization for each couple's specific situation.
