Abstract(s)

Evidence has demonstrated possible side effects and adverse effects due to hormonal medications to increase women's fertility. In addition, frequent and painful therapeutic administrations, successive exposure of the woman's body for examination, and invasive, mechanistic, and dehumanizing procedures have been described by women during fertility treatments.
