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.

  • This is a 3-step study. Each evaluation session (30 to 60 minutes per session) involves completing an online survey (on a secured web platform) on different aspects of individual and conjugal functioning, and on the impact of the child’s illness on couple relationship.
  • You and your partner shall complete an online questionnaire, and two follow-up questionnaires 2 months and 4 months after the completion of the first survey.
  • In order to compensate for the time required to participate in the study, each couple receives $20 for their participation at the end of each evaluation session (for a total of $60/couple).
