Infertility Patients can be assured that stress doesn't affect the outcome of treatments for infertility, according to a BMJ meta-analysis.

The analysis comprised 14 prospective studies and more than 3500 infertile women. The participants had their levels of distress (anxiety or depression) measured by standard tests before undergoing a cycle of infertility treatment. The analysts then compared the group-mean rates of stress among those who became pregnant and those who did not. They found no difference in stress levels between the groups.

The authors conclude that their evidence can be used to reassure patients that "feelings of tension, worry, or depression experienced as a result of their fertility problem, its treatment, or other co-occurring life events are unlikely to further reduce chances of pregnancy."

"This finding provides doctors with the evidence to reassure women that feelings of tension, worry, or depression experienced as a result of their fertility problem, its treatment, or other co-occurring life events are unlikely to further reduce chances of pregnancy," the researchers wrote online in BMJ.

Many women believe that emotional distress contributes to their inability to become pregnant, but unlike with biologic and lifestyle factors, this has not been proven, and results of psychosocial studies have been inconclusive.
Furthermore, fertility treatments are themselves stressful, involving nine to 12 days of injections of fertility drugs, oocyte retrieval, and laboratory fertilization, then transfer to the uterus, followed by 2 to 3 weeks of waiting before outcome is known.
