That's according to new research by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA).
In total, some 47,442 women had IVF treatment in 2012, an increase on previous years with more cycles of IVF also being carried out.
The report, 'Fertility Treatment in 2012: Trends and Figures', found that women over the age of 45 are more likely to use IVF treatment, while the number of same-sex female couples receiving IVF treatment increased by more than a third in the last year. Elsewhere, women over 40 still represent the minority of patients, while two-thirds of women undergoing treatment are aged 37 and under.
Covering key statistics on fertility trends in the UK, the data covers treatment cycles started in 2011, their outcomes in 2012, and how these coincide with both short and long-term trends. It is the third of its kind to be published by the HFEA.
In the long-term, the statistics reveal that the number of IVF cycles performed each year has steadily increased since 1991, although there was a slight fall in the number of total cycles for IVF and Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) over the last 12 recorded months. The rate of Donor Insemination (DI) cycles has increased.
Sally Cheshire, Interim Chair of the HFEA, said: "This report shows just how important the world's largest assisted reproduction Register has become. As well as providing key data relating to IVF and other fertility treatments – data which is invaluable for clinicians, scientists and researchers in their important work – we can now also gain valuable insights into the world around us.
"It is important to remember that behind the facts and figures in this report lie the many human experiences – some joyous, some deeply sad – of people seeking a family of their own. If this data can not only help us improve fertility treatment for future patients, but also help others to better understand how society is changing, then the Register becomes a work of significance to us all."
