• Effective June 1, 2021, partners are allowed to accompany you to embryo transfers, intrauterine inseminations (IUI), and pregnancy scans as long as they present their vaccination card at least 72 hours before your appointment using the form in your portal. Once this is received, the card will be reviewed and cleared as appropriate. The last dose of a vaccine must be given 2 weeks prior to coming to the office and there are no exceptions.
• You will see only a limited number of providers.
• RADdad, an at-home sperm collection kit for semen analysis and sperm freezing can be provided so that our male patients do not need to make a trip to our offices. Click here to order or register your RADdad at-home sperm collection kit.

There is no evidence that fertility treatments including diagnostic testing, laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery, cycle monitoring, intrauterine insemination (IUI), egg retrieval and/or embryo transfer (IVF) etc. are affected by Covid-19. However, given the nature of fertility assessment/treatments which necessitate multiple office visits, even with widespread testing and risk mitigation strategies, there is no guarantee that you will not be exposed to the virus. You should discuss your individual risks with your healthcare provider.

If you suspect you’re sick with Covid-19, seek medical care immediately. Tell your doctor about your recent travel and your symptoms. Avoid contact with others and contact RADfertility with your condition as soon as possible.

Any diagnostic testing, infertility treatment, surgery or other services will be suspended should you become symptomatic or test positive for Covid-19.

On November 2, 2020 the CDC released an early Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) stating that available data suggests that symptomatic pregnant women are at higher risk of more severe illness with Covid-19 than their non-pregnant peers. These risks include a small but significant increased risk of ICU admission, mechanical ventilation and death. It is important to note that the absolute risk is still small. Similar to the general population, pregnant women with comorbidities such as obesity, hypertension and gestational diabetes are at higher risk. Black and Hispanic women also appear to have higher infection and death rates than their peers.
