    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: We studied the impact of pregnancy stemming from a medically assisted procreation on the sexuality of the couple. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Our study was forward-looking realized in the maternity of Sfax on duration of nine months. Its methodology is based on a questionnaire distributed to 40 women and on a review of the literature. RESULTS: Our patients continued to have a sexual activity during their pregnancy in the majority of the cases (at least 65% of the cases) but with a decrease of libido in 80% of the cases as well as a net decrease of the frequency of the sexual intercourse. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In front of these difficulties of the consequent sexual life noticed also in the literature, a psychological support of these couples is so recommended that a sexologic care adapted to the particular context of the medically assisted procreation countered justified.
