Summary

With the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART), more and more infertile women are obtaining their offspring through assisted reproductive technology. However, a growing number of national and international studies have shown that infertility patients are prone to negative emotions such as anxiety and depression during ART treatment, which not only affects their physical and mental health, but also affects the embryo implantation rate and pregnancy rate of ART. The purpose of this study is to investigate the stress faced by participants undergoing ART with different cycles and to further investigate its impact on pregnancy outcomes.

Detailed description

With the rapid social and economic development in recent years, the incidence of infertility has increased significantly due to environmental pollution, poor lifestyle habits and increasing stress in various areas. According to global statistics, one in six married couples suffers from infertility. With the development of assisted reproductive technology (ART), more and more infertile women are obtaining their offspring. In clinical practice, however, a significant proportion of patients undergoing ART have low embryo implantation and pregnancy rates and experience recurrent implantation failure (RIF). A growing number of national and international studies have shown that infertility patients are prone to negative emotions such as anxiety and depression during ART treatment, which not only affects their physical and mental health, but also affects the embryo implantation rate and pregnancy rate of ART. This effect is more pronounced in patients with multiple failed transfers. In this study, investigators intend to investigate the stress faced by participants undergoing assisted reproduction with different cycles to provide a reliable basis for future psychological interventions and health education for this group of patients and improve the quality of life of infertility patients.
