CDC's state data brief for 2021 (published December 2023) lists 6 ART clinics in Connecticut and 4,109 ART procedures for Connecticut residents, leading to 1,692 live-born infants. Babies conceived with ART were 4.4% of Connecticut births, against 2.3% nationally. CDC counts procedures and births by the patient's state of residence, not by where the clinic is.
| Measure, 2021 | Connecticut | United States |
|---|---|---|
| ART clinics | 6 | 501 performed ART (453 reported to CDC) |
| ART procedures for residents | 4,109 | 246,087 |
| Live-birth deliveries | 1,605 | 91,906 |
| Live-born infants | 1,692 | 97,128 |
| Procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 | 5,179 | 3,250 |
| ART infants among all births | 4.4% (1,584 of 35,670) | 2.3% |

Connecticut residents had 5,179 procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 in 2021, well above the national 3,250, and ART babies were nearly twice the national share of births. The 1,692 infants follow the 2021 procedures; the 1,584 are ART babies among all infants born in Connecticut during 2021.
Connecticut also has a state law requiring insurance to cover IVF, with limits (see the Connecticut coverage page). The CDC totals show how much Connecticut residents used IVF, not how any one clinic performs.
Map to the Positive answers a question many women ask when choosing where to go:
Large clinics tend to have more infrastructure (in-house lab, IVF on site) and standardized workflows. Private practices tend to offer longer appointments and more personalized care. Neither model is better; it depends on what you value most. What matters is the professional, not the size.
The book's signs of a good professional are the same in both settings: time in the appointment, every step explained, your opinion asked, your partner included, and transparency about costs.
This comes from Chapter 31 of Map to the Positive, on choosing the right doctor, in Station IV, which also has the questions to ask at a first appointment and when to change doctors. The station covers when to see a specialist, the treatment ladder and IVF phase by phase.
Take 30 days. If it does not give you more clarity than everything you have read for free so far, ask for a refund and you get every cent back. We cannot promise you a pregnancy. We can promise you will not be guessing.
