We request that all patients with cycle-start reservations call the office on Day 1 of menses. Please contact your coordinator directly, or call our main office at

In order to maintain safe social distancing in our waiting rooms, patients must arrive on time for Morning Monitoring appointments. Patients arriving late will be deferred until a gap is available in the schedule. Priority will be given to patients who arrive on time for their appointments. Timeliness for is particularly important for weekend appointments.

All patients will need to wear a face mask or facial protection that covers both mouth and nose in order to enter the facility. Masks with exhale ports are not permitted.
2) NYULFC will continue our guest limitation policy.
In observance of social distancing and to minimize the number of individuals onsite, only the scheduled patient will be admitted to the facility. All patients visiting NYULFC for morning monitoring, bloodwork, or imaging scans must attend without any visitors present. Children are not permitted onsite. We apologize for any inconvenience.
3) All patients will be screened for temperature and health.
You will also receive a screening phone call prior to your appointment. Please do not come to your appointment if you have a fever greater than 99.5 degrees Farenheit or any other symptoms associated with COVID-19.
To protect our patients, our staff, and our current (and future!) families, every individual entering NYULFC will be required to pass a temperature screening, and will be screened for COVID-19 related symptoms and travel to restricted states or countries. We regret the necessity of this intrusion upon your time.
4) Cycle Disruption Policy
If an individual demonstrates symptoms of illness during a treatment cycle, or if the individual is mid-cycle and tests positive for COVID-19, the cycle will be cancelled or suspended.
If this cancellation or suspension occurs prior to retrieval, we will issue a credit balance in accordance with services rendered during the cycle. Credit balances will be established on a case-by-case basis. We are not able to extend credit toward products or services provided by third parties (products or services provided by third parties include but not limited to medications, phlebotomy, anesthesia, genetic testing, tissue storage fees, etc).
