Introduction:
Since the beginning of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly affected the field of assisted reproduction. Due to the pandemic of COVID-19, the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE), the American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) and many National Medical Assisted Authorities had proposed postponement of most assisted reproductive treatments.
In case you have undergone or you are currently seeking fertility treatment, you can participate in this research to help us explore and address the issues that have surfaced in assisted reproduction due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objectives:
The main goal of this research is to understand how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the decision of participants to undergo assisted reproductive treatment. We will be able to develop a deeper understanding on issues arise in the field of reproductive medicine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This would facilitate management of these patients in the COVID-19 era.
