Background: The qualitative studies are more effective in human experience than quantitative research. Do not have study focusing on the experience of menopausal infertile women who haven't experienced of motherhood in all their lives. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe the experience of infertility in menopausal women. Materials and Methods:In a phenomenological study, conducted 17 semistructured individual interviews in Ilam, west of Iran, in 2014. Study participants were selected purposively by using a snowball sampling technique. The participants met the inclusion criteria, including postmenopausal women with no history of pregnancy, at least one year after the start of menopause. All women with abnormal menopause such as menopausal induced by surgery, drugs or chemotherapy were excluded of study. Data analysis was carried out based the Colaizzi process for phenomenological data analysis in 8 steps, including; prepare the data, the meaning units, text encoding, revision of the text codes, categories based on similarity and proportion of classes, revision class and compare this data to ensure the reliability of the code, identification of themes reflecting the depth and comparison with other classes and report findings.Result: Through analysis six sub themes emerged, including: physical factors, psychological factors, beliefs and religion, social relationships, instability in life and strategies. These were encompassed in the core category of 'motherhood experience'. Conclusion:An identification experience of infertility is essential to develop appropriate consulting services. Due to the impact of various factors on the experience of infertile women, similar studies are recommended in different cultures.

“…There was also a relationship between the level of serum cortisol and the intensity of state anxiety in the psychometric questionnaires. Moreover, women who became pregnant initially had lower levels of norepinephrine and cortisol in the serum and intracellular fluid [17]. In a pilot study on a group of 44 women, an increased level of anxiety in the psychometric scales was found in women undergoing IVF treatment during the whole course of therapy [14].…”

“…The current models take into account stress and its possible influence on fertility via the activation of hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. In one of the studies, the relationship of HPA axis, the level of anxiety and the efficacy of IVF treatment were evaluated [17]. The study group consisted of 264 women undergoing IVF treatment.…”

Infertility is a significant problem for millions of couples. Recently more attention is being paid to the relationship between infertility treatment with the use of Assisted Reproductive Techniques and the presence of mental disturbances, of which anxiety and depression are the most common. We present a review of recent studies evaluating the influence of anxiety and depression on fertility treatment outcomes and the effect of Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment on the presence of anxiety and depression among women. The studies show conflicting results concerning the effect of anxiety on Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment outcomes, but most reveal that Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment leads to an increased level of anxiety, especially in cases of treatment failure and longer durations of treatment. Most studies do not show a relationship between depression and Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment outcomes, but it seems that severe depression can lead to lower rates of pregnancy during infertility treatment with Assisted Reproductive Techniques. Moreover, women who become pregnant after Assisted Reproductive Techniques treatment seem to have an increased risk of depression in later life.

“…However, they also found that women with higher cortisol levels had a decreased chance of giving birth as a result of treatment 15 . Hence, the lack of differences in PND prevalence rates generally reported [19][20][21][22][23] might be accounted for by a combination of two factors.…”

“…Meanwhile, one might have expected that the stress caused by infertility and its treatment would cause increased cortisol levels, as showed by An et al (2011) 15 , and thus that the risk of PND would be increased in these women. However, they also found that women with higher cortisol levels had a decreased chance of giving birth as a result of treatment 15 .…”

Results: Initial analyses showed that PND was more common in the control group than the IVF group (0.8% vs. 0.4%; p=0.04). However, these differences disappeared when confounding factors were controlled for. A history of any psychiatric illness (p=.000; OR=25.5; 95 % CI=11.7-55.5), any previous affective disorder (p=,000; OR=26.0; 95%CI=10.5-64.0) or specifically a personality disorder (p=.028; OR=3.8; 95 % CI=1.2-12.7) increased the risk of PND. No woman in either group committed suicide during the first year after childbirth.Conclusions: While mothers who receive IVF treatment are not at increased risk of PND, the risk is increased among mothers with a history of mental illness.
