Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) is a fertility practice registered with the CDC in Rockville, Maryland. This profile lists its Rockville and Towson offices, each with an IVF laboratory and each registered with the CDC as a program of its own. Together the two programs reported 16,397 cycles in CDC reporting year 2022; an estimated 205 of their 8,359 embryo transfers, about 2.5%, used a gestational carrier.
For surrogacy intended parents
These figures add up the 2 programs SGF reported to the CDC separately: Rockville and Towson. Shares by patient age and live-birth rates cannot be added up, because the CDC publishes them without the counts behind them, so they are shown for each program.

Total transfers (all egg sources, the CDC's denominator): 2020: 7,486 · 2021: 8,596 · 2022: 8,359
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 Maryland
No comprehensive surrogacy statute — but Maryland's birth registration law names gestational carriers and seals their information, so where the parentage order is in hand the certificate is registered correctly from the start.

Added together, the CDC's figures give an estimated 205 transfers with a gestational carrier in 2022, 249 in 2021 and 162 in 2020, out of 8,359 embryo transfers in 2022. That is about 2.5%; across all U.S. clinics the figure is about 5%. By program: an estimated 164 of 6,566 transfers at Rockville (2.5%) and 41 of 1,793 at Towson (2.3%).

What are SGF's results with donor eggs?
SGF's two programs reported 970 transfers in donor egg cycles for 2022, 805 at Rockville and 165 at Towson, and the CDC printed live-birth rates for each program separately. Rockville: 43% with frozen embryos from donor eggs (U.S.: 45%), 62% with fresh embryos from frozen donor eggs (U.S.: 45%), 58% with fresh embryos from fresh donor eggs (U.S.: 52%) and 44% with donated embryos (U.S.: 42%).

Why does this page add together two CDC programs for Shady Grove Fertility?
The CDC registers the two offices on this page as separate programs, Shady Grove Fertility-Rockville and Shady Grove Fertility-Towson. This page lists them as one clinic, Shady Grove Fertility, and adds the two programs' counts together. SGF has further CDC programs in other places, among them Pennsylvania, Richmond, Atlanta, Tampa Bay, Colorado and New York; their offices are not on this page and their figures are not included.
