CDC's state data brief for 2021 (published December 2023) lists 5 ART clinics in Kansas and 1,259 ART procedures for Kansas residents, leading to 510 live-birth deliveries and 546 live-born infants. Babies conceived with ART were 1.5% of Kansas births, against 2.3% nationally. CDC counts by the patient's state of residence, so Kansans treated in a clinic in another state are part of these numbers.
| Measure, 2021 | Kansas | United States |
|---|---|---|
| ART clinics | 5 | 501 performed ART (453 reported to CDC) |
| ART procedures for residents | 1,259 | 246,087 |
| Live-birth deliveries | 510 | 91,906 |
| Live-born infants | 546 | 97,128 |
| Procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 | 1,943 | 3,250 |
| ART infants among all births | 1.5% (518 of 34,705) | 2.3% |

Kansas had 1,943 procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49, about 60% of the national 3,250. The 546 infants follow the procedures done for Kansas residents in 2021; the 518 are ART babies among the 34,705 infants born in Kansas during 2021.
These are state totals from 2021. They do not show how a given clinic performs or what it offers for male-factor infertility, which matters if your partner also needs an evaluation.
Map to the Positive says your partner also needs a specialized evaluation when indicated. Among the book's reasons to see a specialist before the usual 12 or 6 months are two about him:
When there is an abnormal semen analysis or a history that suggests male factor, the book points to a urologist, ideally one with specialty training in reproductive medicine, and calls this essential if male factor is involved.
For her, the book's cutoffs are 12 months of trying under 35, 6 months from 35 to 40, 3 months at 41 to 42 and immediate evaluation from 43.
These points come from Chapter 29 of Map to the Positive, which opens Station IV with when to see a specialist and which one. The station continues with choosing a doctor, the treatment ladder and IVF explained phase by phase.
