Fertility Treatment 2021: Preliminary Trends and Figures

Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority

Published June 20, 2023

Abstract

This HFEA report presents preliminary UK statistics for in vitro fertilisation (IVF) and donor insemination (DI) treatment, storage and donation, and provides an update on fertility treatment and outcomes in the UK from 1991 to 2021. The report records around 55,000 patients having almost 76,000 fresh and frozen embryo transfer IVF cycles and around 7,000 DI cycles at licensed fertility clinics in the UK in 2021. Other sections report on pregnancy and birth rates, multiple births, egg and embryo storage, patient age, family types and NHS-funded IVF cycles. The report states that data on treatments and pregnancies from 2020-2021 and outcomes from 2019-2021 have not yet been validated, so some data in the report is preliminary and cannot be compared to other reports.
