Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Infertility affects approximately 1 in 6 couples and may require the use of Medically Assisted Reproduction techniques. In France, there were more than 60,000 in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts in 2016. The burden of the IVF process is even more significant for working women, causing significant absenteeism due to medical appointments but also to the psychological discomfort caused by the management. Unfortunately, there are no studies that specifically address the quality of life of working women undergoing IVF.

The cohort project aims to measure quality of life using validated questionnaires (FertiQoL, STAI Anxiety Scale and BDI Depression Inventory) in active patients who are scheduled for a first IVF attempt. Quality of life will be measured before starting treatment and at embryo transfer and will be followed up at each embryo transfer for a maximum period of 18 months. The follow-up will end after the live birth of a child or at the end of the 18 months of follow-up.

The investigators will also evaluate, by means of a specific questionnaire, the satisfaction with the interactions between professional and private life (management and consequences of absenteeism at work, consequences on professional evolution, anxious repercussions in the professional and private domains) in the active women undergoing IVF treatment.

Completion of questionnaires

The quality of life questionnaire will be completed before starting the treatment and then during the embryo transfer and will be followed up at each embryo transfer over a maximum period of 18 months. We will also evaluate by means of a specific questionnaire the importance of work/life interactions management and consequences of absenteeism at work, consequences on professional evolution, anxious repercussions in the professional and private domains).
