There are increasing reports of the impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the menstrual cycle, hormonal status, endometrium, ovarian reserve, follicular fluid, oocytes and embryos. At the same time, there is no unequivocal information about the potential impact of the disease on fertility in women, as well as about the alleged violations of reproductive function. The study of the relationship between COVID-19 infection and subsequent disorders in the reproductive system will provide new data on the state of fertility in recovered patients who are scheduled for in vitro fertilization. To date, quite pronounced, but at the same time reversible changes in the menstrual cycle in women who have undergone COVID-19, moderately pronounced changes in the ovarian reserve and hormonal balance have been demonstrated. The maximum impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection is observed in relation to the decrease in the number and quality of embryos.
