We appreciate the sensitive nature of this question.

Please consult your fertility specialist as soon as possible to see if retrieval can be moved a day earlier or later, or at least to the late afternoon before the fast or to the night right after the fast ends. An adjustment of this sort is usually possible at this stage of the process.

Please get back to us with any follow up questions.
