Primary Themes
We identified three primary themes related to AUFI, UTx and reproductive
autonomy. The first theme was the negative impact of the diagnosis of
AUFI on psychological wellbeing, relationships with family, peers, and
partners, and on participants’ female identity. The second theme was the
positive impact of UTx on healing the emotional scars of AUFI, enhancing
female identity and the value of research trial participation. The third
theme was the perception of UTx as an expansion of reproductive
autonomy.
