The number of women having children after fertility treatment in the UK has increased by more than a third in the last ten years.
Around one in 32 babies were born as a result of fertility treatment in 2023, according to the UK fertility regulator HFEA.
But the report also highlights a reduction in the number of IVF treatments funded by the NHS.

Despite this rise, “funding has dropped quite dramatically over the last ten years,” says Claire Ettinghausen, from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority.
