The in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment is very stressful for the couple. The emotional tension (waiting, hoping) plays a greater role than the bodily complaints (stimulation, follicle puncture). Sometimes the wish to get a child is very strong and is the motivation for IVF treatment. Psychological investigations show that IVF patients have fewer psychological complaints compared with other sterility patients; in the psychoanalytically oriented Giessen test there are no differences compared with other sterility patients. The aim of a treatment for IVF patients is the individual, medically and psychologically oriented therapy - sometimes involving the renunciation of a further IVF therapy.
体外受精（IVF）治疗对夫妇来说压力很大。情绪紧张（等待、期盼）比身体不适（刺激、卵泡穿刺）起的作用更大。有时要孩子的愿望非常强烈，这也是进行体外受精治疗的动机。心理调查显示，与其他不育患者相比，接受体外受精的患者心理问题较少；在以精神分析为导向的吉森测试中，与其他不育患者相比没有差异。对接受体外受精的患者进行治疗的目的是提供个体化的、医学和心理导向的治疗——有时包括放弃进一步的体外受精治疗。
