Purpose: A phenomenological study was conducted to investigate the experiences of infertile women who had an artificial insemination attempt and the structure of these experiences was identified in a socio-cultural context. Method: In depth interview were done with seven participants from June 2005 to Sept. 2005. Data was recorded and analysed by Colazzi S method. Result: Significant statements were extracted from the data resulting in 5 themes and 17 concepts. The concepts were : envying , waiting hope , anxiety , blaming oneself or God , sorrowing , burden , ’tiring’, life a hall , ’work out ones own salvation ,‘realization of self ,‘empty of mind , patient , support , lonely ,‘bring not cheer to ,‘attempt . The significant themes of participants experiences with artificial insemination emerged as: “expectation”, “difficulty”, “conquering”, “isolation”, frustration Conclusion: The results indicate that the care of infertile women with an unsuccessful artificial insemination attempt should be based on a deep understanding of their personal experiences. Also, information on alternative choice should be offered and supported.
