COVID-19 has created an additional barrier for women who wish to or are currently undergoing fertility treatment. Fertility centers should address asymptomatic, COVID-19 positive patients on a case-by-case basis in order to ensure safety to center staff and the patient, while also mitigating the dangers associated with cycle cancellation. This study is a discussion of two case studies where women underwent oocyte retrievals and were asymptomatic but tested positive for COVID-19. In both special cases, the risks of canceling the cycles were heavily considered by practice physicians and risk management, and extra precautions were taken to ensure no medical staff were also infected.
