We have examined the potential of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy for the male to improve pregnancy rates in intrauterine insemination (IUI) with husband's spermatozoa. A prospective randomized trial was performed in 148 couples undergoing IUI because of male subfertility. In the treatment group, 150 IU FSH were administered to the husbands, either i.m. or s.c., three times a week, s...

Back ground: Endometrium contraction following intra-uterine insemination(IUI) was considered one of implantation failure causes.Aim the study: The primary purpose study to ascertain effect piroxicam treatment on pregnancy outcome six days intrauterine insemination. Materials and Methods: accomplished in High Institute for Infertility Diagnosis Assisted Reproductive Technologies, Al-Nahrain Uni...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Despite its wide use, the benefits of intrauterine insemination (IUI), its over timed intercourse (TI) in couples with unexplained infertility is a matter of debate. Studies in Indian couples with unexplained infertility showing benefit of IUI over TI are not available. The present study was done with the objective of comparing TI and IUI with husband's sperm in couples ...

BACKGROUND/AIM Unknown cause of infertility exists in 10%-26% of couples with infertility problems. Treatment of these couples depends on the posibility of correcting the unidentified defect over time. Intrauterine insemination (IUI) and ovaluation stimulation are methods of choice in treatment of unexplained fertility, but if a woman is older than 37 years, in vitro fertilization (IVF) could b...

OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to compare the semen parameters of two successive samples obtained within an interval of less than 60 minutes from patients planning to undergo intrauterine insemination (IUI) whose first samples exhibited low semen quality. METHODS Thirty-two consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. On the day of IUI, the semen analysis of the samples initially pr...

INTRODUCTION Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is an important treatment for infertility. IUI combined with controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) is widely used because of the higher pregnancy rates compared to IUI cycles without COS. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed a single center data from 458 patients underwent the first IUI cycle and had only 1 mature follicle from May 2009 ...

Özet Intrauterine insemination is the first method of treatment for many causes of infertility, mainly unexplained infertility,male subfertility, and ovulatory dysfunction.Despite its popularity, the effectiveness of IUI treatment is not consistent,and the role of IUI treatment in practice protocols has not been clarified.The success of IUI depends on a number of parameters linked both to the p...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate outcomes of patients with unexplained infertility who underwent letrozole (LET)– stimulated controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) with timed sexual intercourse (IC) as compared to patients treated with clomiphene citrate (CC) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). STUDY DESIGN: A non­ randomized, retrospective study where unexplained in­ fertility patients (n=7,764) underwen...

BACKGROUND To gain more insight in whether failure of intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment in patients with idiopathic subfertility could be related to diminished fertilization, the aim of this study is to compare the fertilization of an initial IVF procedure after six cycles of IUI and the fertilization of an initial IVF procedure without preceding IUI cycles in couples with idiopathic su...

The optimal time period for intrauterine insemination (IUI) in relation to either luteinizing hormone (LH) surge or human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration leading to the best pregnancy rates has not been determined. In this study, 856 consecutive human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG)-stimulated and 49 natural unstimulated IUI cycles carried out at a reproductive medicine unit affilia...
