On a global level, there is a heavy impact on men and women of all age groups due to pandemic and ever since it started in January, 2020, many countries went into lockdown to stay safe and this has been continuing until now and it is likely that doctors would continue to recommend to wait until the pandemic period is over to have family planning. As Fertility treatments in pandemic become more difficult and unsafe, it would be ideal to follow the advice of doctors for positive decisions.

The outbreak of Coronavirus

All of year 2020 so far has been a period of pandemic and globally there is a deep impact on men and women due to Coronavirus outbreak.

The views and opinions of women

Thousands due to fertility women have been facing difficulty in their decisions to choose baby planning, while others were waiting to work on Fertility treatments in pandemic. But this aspect did not work as doctors began to suggest to stay safe from getting pregnant due to risks associated with pandemic.

 Some women expressed dissatisfaction and unhappiness for lack of access to

IVF treatment due to pandemic and the fact that they have to wait until the pandemic is over and safety measures are secure to choose IVF treatment.

Mixed views on career and family

As many men and women began to work from home, not only they find lack of time, but it is mostly an hour of decision whether to make a career or plan family. Most of them preferred to move on with career as there is lot of risk associated with planning for a baby in this pandemic period.

Additionally men began to work extra hours and working late makes them tired and they cannot dedicate personal time with the family. Some couples plan to have a second child and while managing their first child, they are unable to decide whether this is a good time to plan for a second child.

Low Birth Rate

IVF Treatment

While natural baby birth underway, on the other side, couple have been searching for IVF treatments as well and due to pandemic period, they have been missing and not able to access.  Certainly, there is no alternative to IVF treatment due to pandemic.
