“…Yet maternal depressive symptoms, whether occurring during pregnancy or culminating in the postpartum period, are a common and major contributor to maternal morbidity and mortality (8). Furthermore, psychologic distress is, unsurprisingly, associated with subfertility (9), and several studies show a high prevalence of anxiety and depression among couples undergoing IVF (9)(10)(11). Treatment failures are particularly linked to psychologic distress (12), but even successful IVF mothers may experience a complex transition to parenthood with intense fetal attachment and anxiety (13)(14)(15).…”

“…According to some recent results [55,58] A recent meta-analysis [6] of 14 studies indicated that although distress appears not to compromise the possibility of becoming pregnant in women undergoing fertility treatment, contrary to what many couples believe, definitive research is lacking and the relation is complex.…”

Review Article IJPRR (2019) 2:22 Objective: To find any role of optimism and/or resilience mediating emotional distress in infertility. Method: We performed a literature search for 2000-2017 in PubMed, PsycINFO and Elsevier, for original articles and reviews, using keywords "resilience," "infertility," "optimism," "LOT-R," "in vitro fertilization," and "assisted reproductive technology." Additional references were collected from articles located thereby. Results: The evidence reveals a growing trend of promoting people´s positive health assets and indicates significant negative associations of optimism and resilience with anxiety and depression and positive associations with self-esteem and perception of control. It seems optimism and resilience heavily influence physical and mental health and diminishes emotional distress due to infertility. Discussion: This review highlights the importance of the development of therapeutic and preventive interventions increasing optimism and resilience against affective dysregulation and emotional distress caused by infertility.

“…Such psychological problems may occur when it is impossible to conceive a child naturally and after unsuccessful IVF attempts (Filippova, 2009;Hynes, Callan, Terry, & Gallois, 2011). One or both partners (spouses) may have a depressed mood, decreased energy, and low general well-being (Haimovici et al, 2018;Maroufizadeh, Karimi, Vesali, & Omani Samani, 2015;Pasch et al, 2016;Williams, Marsh, & Rasgon, 2007). Negative emotions of people suffering from infertility can also be accompanied by negative self-perception, a negative and inconsistent self-image, and self-blame, which can negatively affect family life satisfaction (Filippova, 2009;Greil, Slauson-Blevins, & McQuillan, 2010).…”

Background. Psychological tension in the family, along with stress and mental and physical illness, are linked to the reproductive health of parents, as well as to the outcomes of infertility treatments and pregnancy overall.Objective. To compare stress and negative affect (depression, irritability, and anxiety) in families with induced pregnancies (in-vitro fertilization, IFV) vs. natural pregnancies. The relationship between negative affect and stress in pregnant women was explored in both groups. Finally, the study investigated links between negative affect and partner relationships.Design. The sample included 308 women and 278 men from couples with natural conception, and 131 women and 102 men from couples with an IVF pregnancy.Results. Relatively low levels of negative affective states and stress were found in families with both natural and induced pregnancies. Moderate correlations were found between women's negative affect and their stress level in both groups. Significant correlations were found in both groups between negative psychological states of the spouses, as well as between negative psychological states and warmth/hostility in marital relations.Conclusion. The results suggest that psychological states, stress levels, and links between psychological states and quality of family relations are similar in families with IVF and those with natural pregnancies. Further longitudinal research is needed to explore the direction of causal links between the psychological states of the spouses, and between their psychological states and the quality of family relations.
