Total transfers (all egg sources, the CDC's denominator): 2020: 895 · 2021: 1,262 · 2022: 1,358

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.
