Time to birth for spontaneous and ART births among infertile groups - PubMed While assisted reproductive technologies enable individuals facing infertility issues to achieve a live birth, they require more time to succeed. However, since the 2000s, time to ART births has decreased, with the shortest observed among those initiating conception attempts in their late thirties. …

🎉 New research out with @fertdem.bsky.social and @vegardskirbekk.bsky.social !

💡 Time to ART birth decreased since the 2000s, and is shorter for those in their late 30s — likely reflecting improved treatment efficiency and faster access to care.
