The researchers aimed to explore the emotions and experiences of infertile women trying to conceive through timed intercourse, specifically concerning their sexuality. The researchers used a qualitative research design based on the Online Photovoice method. The sample consisted of 53 infertile women from Türkiye. The researchers analyzed the data using Online Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis and organized the data into 20 themes: "Did it work/Is it going to work?" "Stress," "Obligation/necessity," "Like a duty," "Going with the flow," "What if it does not work out? Goal-oriented," "Reluctance," "Having difficulty," "Torture," "Anxiety," "Lack of joy," "Disappointment," "Hope," "Feeling like something is missing," "Not being able to go with the flow," "Turning into a robot," "Hopelessness," "Love," and "Pain." Based on these findings, the authors recommend that healthcare professionals, especially infertility nurses, work within a multidisciplinary framework to help infertile women manage emotional and sexual experiences and to foster more positive sexual well-being
