In CDC's 2021 state data brief (published December 2023), 2 fertility clinics in New Mexico reported ART data, and New Mexico residents underwent 495 ART procedures. That is 1,070 per million women aged 15 to 49, against 3,250 nationally, and 0.9% of babies born to New Mexico residents in 2021 were conceived with ART (U.S.: 2.3%).
CDC assigns ART procedures and births to the patient's state of residence. A New Mexico woman treated in another state counts as New Mexico, and CDC notes that state figures may therefore not reflect the clinics located in the state.

| ART procedures for residents | 495 | 246,087 |
| ART procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 | 1,070 | 3,250 |

| Live-born infants from those procedures | 246 | 97,128 |

In 2021 the 495 procedures for New Mexico residents included 469 embryo transfers and resulted in 226 live-birth deliveries and 246 live-born infants. Counted by calendar year of birth, 195 of the 21,391 babies born to New Mexico mothers in 2021 were conceived with ART.
With two reporting clinics, it helps to know which professional you need at each stage, so you do not wait for the wrong appointment. Ask any clinic you consider for its results for women your age and with your diagnosis.
No federal law requires health plans to cover infertility treatment (healthinsurance.org, June 2026). Ask your insurer or HR what your plan covers for testing and treatment, for you and for your partner, and confirm again before you start, because rules change.
Map to the Positive explains that "fertility specialist" is not one specialty. Choosing the right one matters:
And for him: a urologist, ideally with reproductive training, when a semen analysis is abnormal or his history suggests male factor. The book calls this essential if male factor is involved.
The types of specialist, the age cutoffs and the red flags are in Chapter 29 of Map to the Positive, at the opening of Station IV. The chapters that follow cover choosing a doctor, the treatment ladder and IVF step by step.
