IVF diagnoses, explained
These are the eight most commonly reported diagnoses in US IVF cycles, accounting for an estimated 940,490 cycles per year. Each page covers what the diagnosis means, how it affects IVF planning, what the literature says, and which US clinics report the highest patient volumes for the condition. Editorial content is reviewed against ASRM, ACOG, AUA, and Endocrine Society guidelines.
How this works
Every page in this section pairs editorial content with computed numbers from CDC's National ART Surveillance System (NASS). The percentage of cycles citing each diagnosis is reported by every US fertility clinic to the CDC; we multiply those percentages by each clinic's total cycle count to estimate cycle volumes.
A few important caveats:
- One cycle, multiple diagnoses. A patient can have more than one contributing diagnosis in a single IVF cycle. The reported percentages often sum to more than 100% per clinic, and the totals across diagnoses sum to more than the total US IVF cycle count.
- Volume is not quality. The clinic ranking on each diagnosis page reflects how often a clinic reports treating patients with that diagnosis. CDC does not publish per-diagnosis success rates at the clinic level, so a "best clinic for X" is not derivable from this dataset.
- Editorial content is informational. Each page is intended to help patients ask better questions. None of the content on this site is a substitute for personalized evaluation by a reproductive endocrinologist.
