Trends in ART procedures

• In the last 5 years there has been a shift from day 2-3 embryo (cleavage stage) transfers to day 5-6 embryo (blastocyst) transfers.
• The proportion of blastocyst transfers has increased from 27.1% in 2006 to 52.1% in 2010.
• Increase in the transfer of vitrified (ultra-rapid frozen) embryos. Compared with 2009, the proportion has more than doubled from 18.3% to 38.2%.
• reduction in the rate of multiple birth deliveries, with a decrease from 12% in 2006 to 7.9% in 2010.
• shifting to single embryo transfer, the proportion of which increased from 56.9% in 2006 to almost 70% in 2009 and 2010.
