Abstract EN
The purpose of our study was describing the meaning of pregnancy through Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs).
A qualitative design with hermeneutic phenomenology approach was selected to carry out the research.
Semistructured in-depth interviews were conducted with 12 women who experienced assisted pregnancy.
Three themes emerged from women’s experience including finding peace in life, paradoxical feelings, and struggling to realize a dream.
We concluded that pregnancy is the beginning of a new and hard struggle for women with fertility problems.
The findings of our study resulted in helpful implications for the health care professionals managing assisted pregnancies.
