Brief summary: The Learning from Online Video Education (LOVE) study seeks to determine if online instructional videos on how to administer medication needed for in vitro fertilization (IVF) help improve the quality of life and reduce stress during the IVF process.

Detailed description: The Learning from Online Video Education (LOVE) is a randomized controlled trial that seeks to determine the effect of instructional online videos on medication administration on psychological well being during controlled ovarian stimulation.

The investigators hypothesize that usage of online instructional videos by women undergoing their first cycle of controlled ovarian stimulation for in vitro fertilization or oocyte cryopreservation improves measures of psychological well-being (Infertility Self Efficacy Scale, FertiQoL-T and Perceived stress scores) when compared to subjects that do not have access to this educational resource.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Undergoing first controlled ovarian stimulation cycle at the time of enrollment
* Has internet access

Exclusion Criteria:

* Had prior controlled ovarian stimulation cycle
* Does not have internet access
* Declines in person IVF medication teaching session
* Treating physician requests that patient not be approached for participation (any reason)

Primary outcomes:
measure: Infertility Self Efficacy Scale
timeFrame: The infertility self efficacy scale score will be collected up to two weeks after egg retrieval
Secondary outcomes:
measure: FertiQoL-T score
timeFrame: The Ferti-QoL-T score will be collected up to two weeks after egg retrieval
measure: Perceived stress score
timeFrame: The perceived stress score will be collected up to two weeks after egg retrieval
