Absolutely: Ivf involves use of very powerful hormones to trigger ovulation and/or to promote implantation of the embryos. Any rapid or intense hormonal change can precipitate depression of depression like syndromes in up to 45 % of people, including thyroid and corticosteroids. Add the emotional valence of the goal, the stress of sometimes multiple surgeries, and mood effects are often the product.
