Notes:

1. the data is as recorded by the HFEA on 1 May 2025 and reflects the data on this date, and may change over time;
2. the data is preliminary and quality assurance processes with clinics have not yet completed, and will be available in due course for 2023 and 2024;
3. this data includes patients undergoing treatment where the cycle was begun with the intention of immediate treatment, instead of storing eggs or embryos for future use; and
4. data from one clinic is excluded due to data reporting issues.
