Parents who started assisted reproductive technologies (ART) treatments in 2021 gave birth to 97,128 babies, the vast majority of whom were conceived via in vitro fertilization. That’s nearly enough babies to fill Texas’ Cotton Bowl Stadium.
From 2012 to 2021, the number of ART processes started more than doubled, and the number of infants born using these methods increased by 49%. One out of every 42 babies born in the US in 2021 was conceived using these treatments.
