In CDC's 2021 state data brief (published December 2023), only 1 fertility clinic in New Hampshire reported ART data, yet New Hampshire residents underwent 1,248 ART procedures, or 4,257 per million women aged 15 to 49, above the U.S. rate of 3,250. 3.5% of babies born to residents in 2021 were conceived with ART (U.S.: 2.3%). CDC counts by state of residence.
Read these numbers with CDC's counting rule in mind: every procedure is assigned to the patient's state of residence, not to the clinic's location. New Hampshire residents treated at clinics in other states count here, and CDC notes that state figures may not reflect the clinics located in the state.
| 2021, by state of residence | New Hampshire | United States |
|---|---|---|
| Clinics that reported ART data to CDC | 1 | 453 of 501 |
| ART procedures for residents | 1,248 | 246,087 |
| ART procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 | 4,257 | 3,250 |
| Embryo-transfer procedures | 1,018 | not listed |
| Live-birth deliveries from those procedures | 443 | 91,906 |
| Live-born infants from those procedures | 474 | 97,128 |
| Share of all infants born in 2021 conceived with ART | 3.5% | 2.3% |

The 1,248 procedures for residents included 1,018 embryo transfers and resulted in 443 live-birth deliveries and 474 live-born infants. Separately, 447 of the 12,625 babies born to New Hampshire mothers during 2021 were conceived with ART.
Whether you stay in the state or not, ask each clinic for its results for women your age and with your diagnosis, and how monitoring visits are handled.
New Hampshire's RSA 417-G has required group plans to cover medically necessary fertility treatment since January 1, 2020, but it does not reach self-insured employer plans or SHOP plans. Ask your insurer or HR what your plan covers, including care at an out-of-state clinic, and confirm before each step, because rules change.
Map to the Positive says most women tolerate IVF well, but it is fair to know what can happen:
After the egg retrieval, mild to moderate cramping, light bleeding and bloating usually pass within 2 to 3 days, and rest is recommended for the next 24 to 48 hours.
Side effects, myths and the five phases of IVF are covered in Chapter 35 of Map to the Positive, in Station IV, with the questions to ask before starting. The same station explains when to see a specialist and how to choose the doctor.
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.
