COVID Testing

[Anonymous]

Curious - is your clinic doing any type of COVID testing before or during IVF? Either active infection or antibody? I’m about to start treatment and my provider is just having me sign a form stating I’m not having symptoms but of course I’m paranoid I’ll have some sort of asymptotic case at transfer. Am I just paranoid here?

I did a cycle at GW and they did an acute test for COVID a couple of days before retrieval.

I’m starting another cycle with Dr Davis at Cornell tentatively tomorrow. I had to get them a COVID test before they’ll start any meds, even though I’m doing my baseline locally and they’re going to test me again when I get to NYC. I did the LabCorp Pixel test, which resulted 1.5 days later.

I suspect the cycle would be canceled if these tests came up positive.

I had a consultation with Dominion and they did not require testing. Shady Grove told me they are not requiring it, but that could change in the future in which case they may test at their office..

CCRM is requiring a test before transfer. They are offering one that provides results in a few days for $100 or you can get your own. Cycle will be canceled if it’s positive.
