This research aims to analyze the social representations built by the women who experience situations of infertility, opted for the use of assisted human reproduction technologies to realize the biological son. Taking and exploratory qualitative research design, the used methodology has four steps: desk research, literature review, semi-structured interviews and analysis of empirical material. The research base covered services play in the State of Paraná , specifically in the cities of Ponta Grossa and Curitiba; that were being considered by women who chose, after having experienced the process of infertility (either feminine/masculine either ), the use of reproductive techniques with a view to achieving the biological child. Four women were the participants in this study. Following the study, we identified the empirical categories in order to develop knowledge on the subject, under the theoretical framework of Social Representations. The results of the research show that women surveyed attributed to the unique biological son importance. As a life project, his son appeared linked to the ideal of happiness, completeness and have it efforts were not measured (whether financial, emotional or relating to the change in relationships). The statement revealed that experiencing infertility was a painful experience and referred to feelings of frustration, sadness and helplessness. Although the diagnosis of infertility has been reflected both the infertile and for those who experienced the process, reports have shown that the experience was more striking for women. In turn, reproductive technologies have emerged as a solution to the implementation of the biological child. The adoption of the reports also emerged, but only as a second option. The elements of social representations that appeared strongly linked to the son were offspring resemblance, continuity. This research is expected to provide policymakers grants to improve and create policies on assisted reproduction, and particularly, to understand the explanations, meanings and motivations that involve biological motherhood, for the synthesis of this process resulted in the identification of issues that the tangents to the achievement maternity through the use of reproductive technologies ( and their consequences ) deserve special attention both from the government, as the private sphere , it is necessary to strive for realization of reproductive rights, as well as the appreciation of the mother-child relationship.
