Did you find out when you tested to get back in the country? What are all the logistics of your hotel quarantine? Just wondering because we have been to Mexico during this and I wondered what would happen if we tested positive.

My wife is a Fragile X carrier, so with this and trouble conceiving we are doing IVF and doing genetic testing on the embryos. There were 2 options Natera and Cooper.

It sounds like it will be months before they send sample collection kits to us and close family members, then use those samples to develop a customized embryo test. Natera is fine with us beginning hormone stimulation in parallel, but our RE won’t allow it (no clear explanation why).
