https://fertilityrecord.com/research/ Original analysis of the federal fertility record, published with the underlying data. en-us Sat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT https://fertilityrecord.com/research/who-owns-your-clinic/ https://fertilityrecord.com/research/who-owns-your-clinic/ Sat, 05 Sep 2026 12:00:00 GMT Private equity backs about a third of U.S. fertility clinics and more than half of all IVF cycles, mostly without changing the name on the door. The peer-reviewed evidence on what that does to outcomes points the opposite way to what the question usually expects — and we explain why this site still cannot tell you who owns any particular clinic. https://fertilityrecord.com/research/do-the-big-brands-deliver/ https://fertilityrecord.com/research/do-the-big-brands-deliver/ Sat, 22 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Five brands run four or more U.S. clinics each. Four of the five beat the rest of the field on reported outcomes — but the spread between locations of the same brand is as wide as the gap between brands. The name on the door tells a patient less than the address does. https://fertilityrecord.com/research/the-ivf-access-gap/ https://fertilityrecord.com/research/the-ivf-access-gap/ Sat, 15 Aug 2026 12:00:00 GMT Half of the 422 reporting U.S. fertility clinics sit in six states. At the other end, eleven states have one clinic or none — and four of those legally require insurers to cover IVF. Insurance law turns out to be a poor predictor of whether there is a clinic near you.
