BACKGROUND Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a commonly used treatment in subfertile couples. We assessed patients' preferences for IUI relative to expectant management. METHODS Forty subfertile couples were offered scenarios in which the treatment-independent pregnancy chance was varied against a fixed pregnancy chance after IUI without or with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) of 8...

PURPOSE To evaluate the pregnancy rate (PR) of unstimulated intrauterine insemination (IUI). METHODS This was a retrospective study in a private fertility clinic.

A total of 208 patients previously unable to conceive with CC/IUI therapy underwent 416 treat...
