Total transfers (all egg sources, the CDC's denominator): 2020: 836 · 2021: 969 · 2022: 1,078

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.

Nearly all donor-egg transfers today are frozen embryo transfers — the embryo is frozen for genetic testing or scheduling whether the eggs were fresh or banked — so that is the figure to compare.

Surrogacy law in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has no surrogacy statute — and gestational surrogacy is well established here all the same. Here is what actually governs: binding appellate decisions, a Department of Health birth-registration track built around pre-birth orders, and county court practice that varies.

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 We update each clinic’s current name, network and offices from its own website as best we can, but details may be out of date (the CDC-registered name appears in the citation above).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.
The gestational carrier volume is an estimate from the CDC’s own figures for the reporting year shown — an indication of scale, not a current or exact count.
