Time to birth for spontaneous and ART births among infertile groups
While assisted reproductive technologies enable individuals facing infertility issues to achieve a live birth, they require more time to succeed. However, since the 2000s, time to ART births has decreased, with the shortest observed among those initiating conception attempts in their late thirties. Despite the fact that age remains a significant negative factor associated with the declining occurrence of births, these findings may reflect shifts in the profile of fertility clinic patients, faster care-seeking processes, and improvements in ART efficiency.
