Record Number of Pregnancies Through Artificial Insemination

In 72.1 percent of the applications, an intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) was performed, and in 17.0 percent, an in vitro fertilization (IVF) was conducted. 10.8 percent of the applications were inseminations, according to the 2024 IVF statistics from Gesundheit Österreich GmbH (GÖG). The age distribution of the treated women remained constant compared to 2023 - 44.4 percent were under the age of 34, 37.5 percent were between 35 and 39 years old, and 18.1 percent were 40 years or older.

Desire for Children: Increasingly More Support Needed

"Birth rates are drastically declining, the desire for children is being postponed, and thus the need for support is increasing," explained reproductive medicine specialist Obruca, head of the fertility center in Vienna. The multiple birth rate of 4.2 percent last year was a record low. Among these, there were only two triplet births, the rest were twins. This is a sign that modern fertility medicine works with precision and dispels the stereotype of inevitable twin and multiple pregnancies, according to the release from the fertility center in Vienna.
