One child in every classroom is IVF baby, new research suggests

IVF births have increased to over 3% of total UK births in 2023, equivalent to approximately one child in every classroom, as per the HFEA. The rise is attributed to more single patient and female same-sex couples opting for IVF, along with an increase in older patients seeking treatment. NHS-funded IVF cycles have decreased, highlighting changes in the UK fertility sector. The data suggests a significant shift in the landscape of fertility treatments and potential future developments.
