The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of female and male patient age on pregnancy rates with sequential clomiphene citrate (CC) and human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) ovulation induction with intrauterine insemination (IUI) therapy after previous CC and IUI treatment failure. A total of 208 patients previously unable to conceive with CC/IUI therapy underwent 416 treat...

BACKGROUND In natural cycles, women conceive when intercourse takes place during a six-day period ending on the day of ovulation. The current practice in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles is to perform the IUI 24-36 hours after the hCG administration, when the ovulation is already imminent. In this study hCG was administered after the IUI, which more closely resembles the fertilisation pro...

Objective: Infertility is a global health issue among couples of reproductive age. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) fertility treatment method where the processed sperms are deposited in female uterus during time ovulation. The aim this study was to explore factors predicting success rate IUI (IUI-SR). Materials and Methods: A descriptive retrospective conducted analysing SFA corresponding repor...

Introduction Recently, a new procedure for intrauterine insemination (IUI) in sows has been established (1,2). The procedure consists of a specially designed catheter that can be passed through the cervix allowing the deposition of sperm in the uterus. Using this technique, the number of spermatozoa per dose can be reduced by up to 1 billion spermatozoa. It has been demonstrated that the IUI te...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate whether several clinical variables can affect the pregnancy rate of intracervical insemination (ICI) using cryopreserved donor spermatozoa. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, age, years of infertility, cervicitis, urinary luteinizing hormone (LH) surge, insemination number, uterus position, endometrial thickness and morpholog...

BACKGROUND The rationale for double insemination is to create the opportunity for a longer fertilization period as follicle rupture may occur over a wide interval (approximately 22-47 h) after hCG administration in ovarian hyperstimulation (OH) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. This randomized study evaluates the effectiveness of single versus double IUI in only OH cycles with multi-...

BACKGROUND The high iatrogenic multiple pregnancy rate associated with intrauterine insemination (IUI) in hyperstimulated cycles is becoming less acceptable. Therefore we investigated data from an earlier prospective trial with regard to the specific question of whether the application of mild hyperstimulation in IUI cycles could be an alternative strategy for obtaining acceptable pregnancy rat...

BACKGROUND In unexplained and mild male factor subfertility, both intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) are indicated as first line treatments. Because the success rate of IUI is low, many couples failing IUI subsequently require IVF treatment. In practice, it is therefore important to examine the comparative outcomes (live birth-producing pregnancy), costs, and cost-...

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) remains a therapeutic option within means of the majority of infertile couples in Malaysia. Therefore additional information on predictors of IUI success in the local context would provide a more concrete basis for counseling patients on expectations and treatment options. A retrospective analysis of 297 couples who underwent 445 IUI cycles from Jan 2005-Mar 2006...
