Brief Answer:
Risks same as any individual...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Yes, this is a different/difficult situation. However, based on analytic reports found, there was no significant risk found that a pregnant woman is at higher risks of getting COVID-19 infection. COVID-19 infection is unknown to cause any effects on a growing fetus; or the chances of ectopics or fetal defects. However, there are some reports suggesting pregnant women are prone to develop severe COVID infections if they are exposed to the virus.
Therefore, if you are able to remain at home and practice all safety measures necessary to prevent COVID-19 exposure, you can continue perusing IVF treatment.
Hope this answered your question. Let me know if you have any other specific questions.
Regards
