I recommend using the SART website instead.
It has data that are one year newer (currently showing 2007, while the CDC shows 2006).
The interface is easier to use.
You can query by diagnosis. For example, you can view the stats at your clinic just for patients with endometriosis.
The reported data are the same. Clinics typically report their data to the CDC through SART. A slight difference might occur in that the CDC automatically excludes certain cycles (e.g. cycles involving frozen oocytes).
The disadvantage is that a few clinics do not report their data to SART (they report directly to the CDC), so the CDC website has a few more clinics listed.
