A total of 32 women were invited to take part in the interview, 15 of them accepted the invitation. However, saturation was reached before all interviews had been complete.<h4>Results</h4>Three themes emerged from the study: the women's experiences, challenges and the roles and contributions of significant others. The women were anxious, stressed-up, exhausted and financially burdened. Spouses and health professionals played significant roles by providing social, emotional and financial support for these women. Significant others such as spouses and close relatives were supportive and provided encouragement to the women.<h4>Conclusion</h4>The experiences of women undergoing Assisted Reproductive Technologies are multi-dimensional. Thus, psychosocial interventions as part of ART services with health insurance cover may be client-centered and more appropriate for these group of women.Judith A Anaman-TorgborJustice Wiston Amstrong JonathanLily AsareBernice OsarfoRita AttivorAfia BonsuElizabeth A E FialorElvis E TarkangPublic Library of Science (PLoS)articleMedicineRScienceQENPLoS ONE, Vol 16, Iss 8, p e0255957 (2021)
