The 12,921 procedures for New Jersey residents included 11,043 embryo transfers and resulted in 5,450 live-birth deliveries and 5,619 live-born infants. CDC also counts babies born during 2021: 5,106 of the 101,497 infants born to New Jersey mothers were conceived with ART.
CDC counts by the patient's state of residence. New Jersey residents treated in other states count as New Jersey, so the figures may not reflect the clinics located in New Jersey.
A state with many clinics gives you room to compare, and the state average will not do that for you. Ask each clinic for its own results for women your age and with your diagnosis.
New Jersey has required larger group plans to cover infertility treatment, including IVF, since 2001, but self-insured and small employers are exempt. Ask your insurer or HR what your plan covers before you choose a clinic, and confirm again before treatment, since rules change.
Map to the Positive gives a script for the first appointment. These questions tell you how a doctor thinks, not just what they offer:
This script is in Chapter 31 of Map to the Positive, in Station IV, along with the signs of a good professional and when to get a second opinion. The same station covers when to see a specialist and the treatment ladder.
