The data is based on embryos created from stimulated fresh in vitro fertilisation cycles, whether these embryos have been used at any time by the patient or a donor recipient.

The data is as shown on the HFEA’s register database on 10 October 2018. This is a live database so these figures reflect the data on this day and are likely to change over time.
