是什么促使同性女性夫妇选择互惠体外受精（IVF）？他们通过互惠试管婴儿成为母亲的经历是否符合他们的父母期望？互惠试管婴儿是一种治疗途径，适用于顺式，同性女性夫妇，以及其他双方都有子宫和卵子储存的夫妇。一方的卵子被取出，与捐赠者的精子在体外受精，然后由另一方携带。现有的争论已经考虑了这种治疗途径的伦理影响。到目前为止，没有实证研究探讨了家庭谁使用互惠IVF. Methodsemi-structured采访了14个家庭为首的顺式，相同性别的女性夫妇谁设想了互惠IVF在英国（N= 28母亲）的遗传和妊娠母亲的经验。结果共构建了四个主题：（a）共同成为母亲，（B）合法性：“谁是真实的母亲”，（c）选择与约束，（d）选择与约束，（e）选择与约束。和（d）生物联系加强家庭联系。结论家庭选择互惠IVF的动机是多方面的，如希望与伴侣分享母亲的旅程，被视为合法父母，克服实际障碍，建立牢固的家庭关系。母亲们的准父母期望往往与通过互惠试管婴儿成为母亲的现实不符。大多数父母发现，互惠试管婴儿的意义减少，因为他们的孩子长大了。ImplicationsFindings表明，互惠试管婴儿提供了一个充实的路线为人父母。父母应该有机会获得满足其生殖需求的父母身份，并作为一对夫妇感到合适。
ObjectivesWhat motivates same‐gender female couples to choose reciprocal in vitro fertilization (IVF)? Do their experiences of becoming and being a mother via reciprocal IVF match their pre‐parenthood expectations?BackgroundReciprocal IVF is a treatment route available to cis, same‐gender female couples, and other couples in which both partners have a uterus and egg stores. One partner's egg is retrieved, fertilized in vitro with donor sperm, then carried by the other partner. Existing debate has considered the ethical implications of this treatment route. To date, no empirical research has explored the experiences of families who have used reciprocal IVF.MethodSemistructured interviews were conducted with genetic and gestational mothers in 14 families headed by cis, same gender female couples who had conceived by reciprocal IVF in the United Kingdom (N= 28 mothers). Data were analyzed according to the principles of reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsFour themes were constructed: (a) becoming mums together; (b) legitimacy: “who's the real mum”; (c) choices and constraints; and (d) biological connections strengthen family connections.ConclusionFamilies had multiple and nuanced motivations for choosing reciprocal IVF, such as the desire to share the journey of motherhood with their partner, to be perceived as legitimate parents, to overcome practical barriers, and to build strong family relationships. Mothers' pre‐parenthood expectations often mismatched the reality of becoming and being a mother via reciprocal IVF. Most parents found that the significance of reciprocal IVF diminished as their children grew up.ImplicationsFindings demonstrate that reciprocal IVF offers a fulfilling route to parenthood. Parents should have access to routes to parenthood that meet their reproductive needs and feel right for them as a couple.
