Abstract

Objective: To identify some obstacles faced by women who search for motherhood by using third-party genetic material.
Method: This is an exploratory descriptive study with qualitative approach focusing on available testimonies from two selected virtual spaces for women involved with heterologous Assisted Human Reproduction (AHR).
Results: The reports analysis allowed the identification of a series of problems faced by women who searched for AHR. They highlight the motivation to the process of decision making on heterologous AHR; sympathy about the related experiences; sharing of experiences and developed knowledge; support to other women; shared oocytes and embryos donation; coping with prejudice regarding the use of donated gametes.
Conclusion: Blogs are an important discussion forum with doubts sharing, knowledge and explanation of the ambiguity of this theme. The anonymity seems to help these information exchanges.
