Abstract

New reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertil ization (IVF) offer much hope to infertile couples, yet the odds for success are not high. In this study we examine the experiences of a cohort of women undergoing IVF or a related technology at three points in time: before technological intervention, approximately one month after the first failed cycle, and six months later. We consider the women’s expectations and experiences and discuss implications of the findings for social work practice.
