Brief Summary: The most common reason why insured In Vitro Fertilization IVF patients drop out of treatment is the distress caused by the treatment

The objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of a combined Cognitive Coping and Relaxation Intervention CCRI in reducing drop out behavior in IVF patients

The relaxation components of the CCRI consists of techniques that have been used for two decades in the mindbody infertility program as well as in randomized controlled research trials For the Stimulation phase participants will receive instructions on how to do mini relaxation techniques which are specifically designed to reduce anxiety in the moment for example feelings of tension worry and nervousness that might occur prior to and during Stimulation phase procedures eg injections blood tests and ultrasounds For the Waiting Phase the relaxation intervention will include a relaxation CD The CD contains narrated instruction on how to elicit the relaxation response through several techniques
