In vitro fertilization (IVF) is long and difficult. Psychopathologic consequences of IVF have been the object of a great deal of research but few have dealt with women experiences. This study examined women experiences through the analysis of qualitative data.Six women undergoing IVF took part in a semi-directive interview.Qualitative analyses of interviews showed the variety of emotions that women experience during IVF. They experience despair, fear, solitude, unfairness, anxiety, anger, guilt but also hope and determination.The results of this study underline the need for specific support to help women with this emotional alternation.
