SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 year

Population: Subjects were evaluated before IVF cycle 1 and cycle 2 if applicable. The N varies per cycle as some patients withdrew from the study or did not have a second cycle.

Psychological status is assessed by the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The scores range from 0 to 63; a score of 0 being no depression and 63 being severely depressed. Our cut-off for normal was a score of 12 or less, and those with a score of 13 or greater were considered to have symptoms of depression.
