Total transfers (all egg sources, the CDC's denominator): 2020: 138 · 2021: 148 · 2022: 172

Volume estimate = the CDC's reported all-ages share of transfers that used a gestational carrier × the program's total transfers (the transfer count the CDC uses as that share's denominator). Where the CDC suppressed the all-ages share, the age-group shares are used instead and the tile says so.

Reporting year 2022 is the most recent published by the CDC.
CDC datasets are published with a lag of several years, and the field has since seen many mergers, acquisitions and renamings. We update each clinic’s current name, network and offices from its own website as best we can, but details may be out of date (the CDC-registered name appears in the citation above). Clinics may request corrections at any time.
