US Infertility Statistics

 How many women are 
infertile?
 

When looking at infertility statistics, it is important to first understand how certain terms are used in relevant studies. Some of the best data on infertility comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The CDC defines infertility as the inability of a couple to become pregnant after having sex without contraception for 12 months or more. The term "impaired fertility" is in some broader aspects, and captures all women who have difficulty becoming pregnant or difficulty carrying a pregnancy to term.

According to the CDC, approximately 7.3 million women of childbearing age (15-44) in the United States are likely to have fertility problems. In general, this means a fertility rate with powers of approximately 11.8%. Many of these women do not realize they have a fertility problem until they try to raise a family. Looking more closely at the population of married women of reproductive age, approximately 7.4% are infertile. This means about 2.1 million married women in the United States each year are still unable to get pregnant after 12 months of trying. Another 600,000 women experience pregnancy loss through miscarriage each year.


How does maternal age factor in things?


This range "reproductive age" - 15-44 - is awfully long. It is well known that a woman's fertility declines with age. This is because every woman is born with all the eggs she will never happen, and with age, these eggs also age and become less viable. A look at medical diagnostics shows the following distribution of fertility rates by age group: for women aged 15-29 years, 11% are infertile. The rate rises to 16.9% for women between 30 and 34 years, and climbs to 22.6% for women between 35 and 39. Women aged 40-44 years had a rate of infertility April 27 %.

Seek treatment?


While many medical researchers estimate that the actual level of infertility in women has not changed over time, the number of couples seeking what the use of their infertility has increased, so that these statistics are often more interesting. Due to the expected decline in fertility with age, it is not surprising that couples under 35 are more likely to seek treatment for infertility as older couples if they have trouble getting pregnant. According to a CDC report on 422 fertility clinics in 2005, about 40% of couples who used some form of assisted reproductive technology (ART) were under 35 years of age, while only 9.5 % percent had more than 42 years. ART is defined by the CDC as any fertility treatment in which sperm and eggs are processed, the most common is in vitro fertilization. ART has become an increasingly common resource for infertile women, as evidenced by the doubling of the number of cycles conducted in the US ART in recent years, in fact, these days it is estimated that about 1% of all live births are achieved through ART.

When we look at infertility services more broadly, including medical tests to diagnose infertility, counseling and medical treatment to help a woman become pregnant and services other than routine antenatal care to prevent miscarriage, the highest rate of childless women who have received infertility service occurs in women between 30 and 34 years, 17.3%. For women between the ages of 35 and 39, only 15.2% require some type of infertility services.

What do we know about infertility and race?


Unfortunately, no national data burst infertility rates by race or ethnicity. We have more data on why women are more likely to use the services of infertility. Usually they are older, with higher levels of education and higher incomes. The National Survey of Family Growth gives us an idea of the likelihood that a woman will receive infertility services based on race. In 2002, 10.7 percent of white women reported never seek medical help to get pregnant, compared with only 4.7% of African American women, 5.6% of Hispanic women, and 7 percent another non-Hispanic women (including Asian / Pacific Islander, American Indian / Alaska Native and more than one race). These statistics could indicate a better understanding of treatment options for infertility is necessary in non-white communities.
