Infertility, at the heart of our research

We are particularly interested in infertility. We attempt to better understand the impacts of this experience on psychological, conjugal, and sexual well-being, as well as to develop proper interventions that aim to promote healthy adaptation in couples followed in fertility clinics.

All couples do not adapt the same way during fertility treatments.

Our research has shown the existence of several couples’ profiles; to self-blame or not for the fertility difficulty would be a key element in the psychological and conjugal adjustment in couples undergoing fertility treatments.
