[The pains of medically assisted procreation: what place for psychic suffering?]

Human fertility is very sensible to emotional motions. Some unconscious representations infiltrate the child's project, they can make it fail, and are sometimes in conflict with the consciously declared child's desire. In a not exceptionally way, professionals are faced with requests for termination of pregnancy, even though the child was very expected, and the pregnancy obtained after a long period of medically assisted procreation. The author offers some ideas to explore the psychological clinic for infertility, before to centre himself more specifically on the issues raised by situations of egg donation, and conclude by therapeutic proposals on a joint collaboration between gynecologists and child psychiatrists.
