Choosing to Skip Sex and Go Straight to IVF
In February, in vitro fertilization was thrown into the spotlight when the Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos in the state should be considered children. The decision led to a pause on IVF procedures in parts of the state, and even a pause on shipping embryos out of state, to avoid potential criminal liability. In early March, a law was passed to protect IVF providers, prompting some clinics to resume the procedure, though legal challenges could still emerge.
Such rulings could have sweeping consequences for a huge number of would-be parents: In the United States, more than 2% of all infants born are conceived using assisted reproductive technology, of which IVF is the most common. At least 12 million babies have been born globally using IVF since 1978, according to the National Committee for Monitoring Assisted Reproductive Technologies.
Couples who choose IVF are still in the minority of those trying to conceive. They tend to be wealthy (the cost of a single cycle of IVF is around $23,474, according to Fertility IQ, an educational website about fertility) and are mostly in their mid- to late 30s or 40s, when the statistics for conceiving naturally are not in their favor: At age 35, there is a 15% chance of conceiving naturally per month, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. At 40, that drops to 5%.
