Share of transfers using a carrier, by patient age (2022)
Dark: TFC · Light: U.S. average
Three-year trend, share of transfers using a carrier
| Patient age | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | U.S. 2022 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| <35 | 5% | 6% | 5% | 3% |
| 35-37 | 2% | 3% | 8% | 4% |
| 38-40 | 6% | 7% | 5% | 5% |
| >40 | 11% | 7% | 7% | 10% |
| All ages | 5% | 6% | 6% | 5% |
Total transfers (all egg sources, the CDC's denominator): 2020: 1,123 · 2021: 1,273 · 2022: 1,445
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.
For egg donation intended parents
Live births per transfer, donor egg cycles (2022)
207 transfers
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 Texas
Texas is one of the few states with explicit surrogacy laws, offering Intended Parents a structured and predictable legal process. With strong fertility centers in Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio—and a large, diverse surrogate pool—Texas has become a popular matching location. At Ivy Surrogacy, we help you navigate the Texas Validation of Gestational Agreement (VGA), match with fully screened surrogates, and support you at every step.

Questions about TFC
Does Texas Fertility Center do gestational carrier cycles, and how many?
Yes, at a share a little above the one seen across U.S. clinics. The CDC's figures give an estimated 87 transfers with a gestational carrier in 2022, 73 in 2021 and 61 in 2020, out of 1,445 embryo transfers in 2022. The number has grown each year, as has the program's total. The 2022 share is about 6%; across all U.S. clinics the figure is about 5%.
Which TFC offices have an IVF lab?
Central Austin (6500 N. Mopac Expressway, Austin) and San Antonio (18707 Hardy Oak Blvd). The clinic's website states that these two locations each have an onsite IVF laboratory. TFC has two offices in Austin; the one the website names is Central Austin.
What are TFC's results with donor eggs?
TFC reported 207 transfers in donor egg cycles for 2022. With frozen embryos from donor eggs, 52% of transfers led to a live birth (U.S.: 45%); with donated embryos, 40% (U.S.: 42%).
Why does the CDC list Texas Fertility Center under a longer name?
The CDC registers the program, in Austin, as “Texas Fertility Center, Vaughn, Silverberg & Associates”. It is the same clinic: this page lists it as Texas Fertility Center, and the figures shown here are the ones the CDC publishes under the longer name.
