Women's quality of life, sexual life and psychological state would affect the success of embryo transfer. The primary purpose of the study is to compare women's quality of life, sexual life and psychological state using validated forms between those undergoing fresh embryo transfer and those undergoing frozen embryo transfer.
There are two types of embryo transfers; fresh and frozen embryo transfers. Studies have been conducted to compare success rates between fresh and frozen embryo transfers. However, most studies have not taken into consideration women's quality of life, sexual life and psychological state in comparing fresh embryo transfer with frozen embryo transfers. These all parameters are confounding factors that may influence the success of embryo transfer. The purpose of this study is to compare women's quality of life, sexual life and psychological state using validated forms between those undergoing fresh embryo transfer and those undergoing frozen embryo transfer. The following forms will be used: expanded version of the inventory of depression and anxiety symptoms (IDAS-II), Beck Anxiety inventory (BAI), Short Form Survey (SF-36) and Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI. This study can provide evidence regarding the association between women's quality of life, sexual life and psychological state and embryo transfer success.
