CDC's state data brief for 2021 (published December 2023) lists 10 ART clinics in Georgia and 6,241 ART procedures for Georgia residents, leading to 2,389 live-birth deliveries and 2,559 live-born infants. Babies conceived with ART were 1.9% of Georgia births, against 2.3% nationally. CDC counts each procedure and birth under the patient's state of residence.
| Measure, 2021 | Georgia | United States |
|---|---|---|
| ART clinics | 10 | 501 performed ART (453 reported to CDC) |
| ART procedures for residents | 6,241 | 246,087 |
| Live-birth deliveries | 2,389 | 91,906 |
| Live-born infants | 2,559 | 97,128 |
| Procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 | 2,425 | 3,250 |
| ART infants among all births | 1.9% (2,321 of 124,073) | 2.3% |
Procedures exclude egg or embryo banking cycles. Counted by the patient's state of residence. Source: CDC, State-Specific ART Surveillance, 2021 Data Brief (December 2023).
Georgia residents had 2,425 procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49, about three quarters of the national 3,250. The 2,559 infants follow the procedures done in 2021; the 2,321 are ART babies among the 124,073 infants born in Georgia during 2021. A Georgian treated in another state still counts here.
Georgia has no law requiring insurers to cover IVF (see the Georgia coverage page), so cost and coverage depend on your plan. The CDC totals describe all Georgia residents; they do not tell you how a particular clinic does.
Many women fear the retrieval most. Map to the Positive explains that it is an outpatient procedure under light sedation (not general anesthesia) that takes 20 to 30 minutes:
The retrieval is Phase 2 of the five phases in Chapter 35 of Map to the Positive, IVF demystified, in Station IV, which ends with the questions to ask before you start. The same station covers when to see a specialist, choosing a doctor and the treatment ladder.
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.
