Editorial: It was the best of times; it was the worst of times: the impact of the SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) pandemic on reproductive endocrinology

Purpose of review To review the impact that COVID-19 has had on the practice of reproductive endocrinology and infertility. Recent findings As in all areas of medicine, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused profound changes in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. However, the pandemic has encouraged providers and systems to change approaches and unmasked many opportunities that may have actually improved care. The pandemic also forced the field to provide society with fact-based information even as data was constantly emerging and evolving and to do so rapidly. Combating misinformation became an equally important effort and led to increased participation of providers using traditional and social media to provide the most reliable and up to date information. A return to status quo ante bellum is unlikely.
