CDC's state data brief for 2021 (published December 2023) lists 7 ART clinics in Colorado and 3,398 ART procedures for Colorado residents, leading to 1,816 live-born infants. Babies conceived with ART were 2.8% of Colorado births, above the national 2.3%. CDC counts procedures and births by the patient's state of residence, wherever she was treated.

| ART procedures for residents | 3,398 | 246,087 |
| Live-birth deliveries | 1,719 | 91,906 |
| Live-born infants | 1,816 | 97,128 |
| Procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 | 2,478 | 3,250 |

Colorado stands out in one way: its procedure rate (2,478 per 1 million women aged 15 to 49) was below the national 3,250, yet ART babies made up a larger share of births than nationally (2.8% against 2.3%). The 1,816 infants follow the 2021 procedures; the 1,781 are ART babies among all infants born in Colorado during 2021.
State totals describe all Colorado residents together. They do not tell you how a given clinic does for women your age, and they predate the large-employer coverage under the Building Families Act (see the Colorado coverage page).
Map to the Positive places IVF with PGT or donor eggs at the top of the treatment ladder. It lists when each is indicated:
The book notes that success rates with donor eggs are significantly higher, 50% to 60% per transfer, regardless of the recipient's age.
Donation and PGT are covered in Chapter 34 of Map to the Positive, in Station IV, alongside every other treatment level and the ladder principle. The same station explains when to see a specialist, how to choose a doctor and what happens in each phase of IVF.
