The Researchers hope to learn if by using lavender aromatherapy during an intrauterine insemination patients have decreased anxiety and pain at the time of the procedure.
Infertility patients have a high level of anxiety before and during infertility treatments due to anticipated discomfort of a procedure and anticipation of a long awaited pregnancy. Aromatherapy with lavender, an essential oil, has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety and pain in a variety of procedures such as Botox injections, cesarean delivery and intrauterine device placement.
