Our findings indicate substantial disruptions to food access and to individuals' fertility treatment during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations from these findings suggest that consistent clinic policies can allow for increased support system integration. A further recommendation is the need for a multidisciplinary team to support the individuals going through fertility treatments, such as a registered dietitian to help meal plan around their diet protocol. A registered dietitian would be able to assist patients in making adjustments when faced with limited access to certain food resources as a result of the pandemic.
