Summary of request

The Authority was asked for each calendar year since 2005 the number of pregnancies resulting from IVF treatment that were terminated.

HFEA response

This data is available for the years 1991 – 2005 in table 23 of our publication ‘Long-term trends in fertility treatment’ available on our website at: http://www.hfea.gov.uk/docs/Latest_long_term_data_analysis_report_91-06.pdf.pdf . An updated version of table 23 to cover the period from 01/08/1991 through to 30/06/2009 (the most recent verified data available) has been created and is attached. 

This information was extracted from the HFEA’s data warehouse containing Register data on 17/05/2011. Please note that the information in our database may be subject to change as licensed centres notify us of information that updates or corrects information they have previously supplied.  Treatments up to 30/06/2009 have been subject to a preliminary verification process, and the centres that supplied the data have been asked to confirm their accuracy, for which they remain responsible. 

The publication ‘Long-term trends in fertility treatment’ mentioned above also provides data (1991 – 2005) about the termination of pregnancies resulting from other forms of fertility treatment, eg Intra cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and donor insemination (DI).
