Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a session of virtual reality (VR) with the objective of lowering the anxiety level on the clinical pregnancy rate following an In-vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedure. Indeed, anxiety in relation to infertility happens frequently and over time, can become stressful for our patients. This level of stress influences the effect of the infertility treatment. Reducing anxiety levels could promote the ability of the patients to face this stress and promote a greater chance of pregnancy in that context.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. impact of the virtual reality on the pregnancy rate (Ultrasound) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ]
    measured by ultrasound


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. impact of the virtual reality on anxiety (numeric scale) [ Time Frame: immediate ]
    measured with numeric scale (0-10) before and after the VR

  2. impact of the virtual reality on satisfaction [ Time Frame: immediate ]
    measured by a numeric scale 0-10

  3. impact of the virtual reality on pregnancy test [ Time Frame: 6 weeks ]
    measured by blood beta HCG level

  4. state-trait Anxiety Inventory [ Time Frame: immediate ]
    measured with STAI Y-A Spielberger before and after the VR and when leaving the hospital
