Reproductive Medicine
The use of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), which includes in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) has more than doubled in the U.S. over the past decade1. Factors leading to this increase may include:
- A better understanding, awareness and acceptance about infertility2
- An increase in planned oocyte cryopreservation (i.e., egg freezing)3
- LGBTQ+ couples and individuals using ART to build their families4
- An increase in employers offering fertility benefits5
- The shift towards women having children later in life6
