Nearly 1 in 5 Women Surveyed Have Experienced Infertility – IVI Institute
IVI Institute shared on LinkedIn:
”Nearly 1 in 5 women surveyed in the IVI Institute Fertility Barometer have experienced infertility at some point in their lives.
That represents 19% of women across the nine countries included in the study. And 5% are experiencing infertility today.
These are just some of the findings from the IVI Barometer, and the numbers become even more tangible when we look at the estimated populations behind them:
- 14.3 million women in the U.S.
- 2.8 million in the UK
- 1.7 million in Italy
- 1.5 million in Spain
Infertility is not a marginal or niche issue. It affects millions of women and families, and its impact extends far beyond the medical diagnosis.
Two-thirds of women who have experienced infertility say it has had a negative impact on their lives, rating that impact at 7 out of 10 or higher.
These findings reinforce why fertility needs to be part of a broader conversation about reproductive health, access to information, and the support available to patients as they navigate decisions about their future families.
Visit the IVI Institute Fertility Barometer for more findings.”
