About this data

Source: Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), Fertility treatment: trends and figures (2023 and 2024 reports)

• IVF includes ICSI (where a sperm is injected into the egg) and treatment with donated eggs, sperm or embryos. Births after donor insemination (DI) alone are not included; they were about 0.1% of UK births in 2023.
• Figures for 2020, 2021 and 2024 are provisional. Fewer IVF babies were born in 2020 and 2021 because clinics closed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
• Births are counted in the year the baby was born. They include all births after treatment at UK clinics, so a few may have been born outside the UK.
• 2000–2013 from HFEA's 2023 report; 2014–2024 from its 2024 report. The two agree within 0.04 percentage points where they overlap.
