Infertility and its treatments can have a significant impact on women's psychological health. Anxiety has a negative impact on quality of life during treatment and can lead to withdrawal of care. the investigators would like to test the effectiveness of an application available via the Internet that offers daily exercises such as mindfulness meditation. Women in the "treatment" group will be instructed to practice meditation exercises using the 15-minute daily application during in vitro fertilization treatment until pregnancy testing. Women in the control group will have the standard care of the centre. The investigators will measure the effectiveness of the intervention on anxiety, depression, quality of life and mindfulness aspects. The investigators will also assess the impact on the chances of pregnancy and stress.
