In CDC's 2021 state data brief (published December 2023), 6 Wisconsin clinics reported data, and women living in Wisconsin had 2,887 ART procedures, or 2,271 per million women aged 15 to 49 (U.S.: 3,250). ART babies were 1.7% of births to Wisconsin residents in 2021: 1,050 of 61,781 (U.S.: 2.3%).

Of the 2,887 procedures, 2,409 were embryo transfers, resulting in 1,081 live-birth deliveries and 1,163 live-born infants. The 1,050 figure counts a different thing: babies born during 2021 to Wisconsin mothers.
Wisconsin does not require insurers to cover fertility treatment. In October 2025, Democratic legislators introduced the Building Families Act to require coverage of infertility treatment and fertility preservation; it is a proposal, not law. Until something changes, your plan's own terms decide, so ask your insurer or HR and confirm with the state insurance department.
CDC counts procedures by the patient's state of residence, so Wisconsin women treated in other states are included, and the 6 clinics are those that reported (453 of 501 nationally in 2021). Ask each clinic for its own results for women your age.
When you pay out of pocket, every answer matters. Map to the Positive suggests asking your specialist:
These questions close Chapter 35 of Map to the Positive, in Station IV, after a phase-by-phase walk through IVF from stimulation to the two-week wait. Chapter 34 shows the simpler rungs of the treatment ladder that often come first.
