In a prospective randomized trial comparing efficacy of double over single intrauterine insemination (IUI), 160 couples with unexplained infertility underwent controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IUI. The pregnancy rates were similar and statistically not different between groups, suggesting that double IUI added no advantage over single IUI.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of ultrasound guidance in intrauterine insemination (IUI). MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted. The data was collected from the records of 197 couples with unexplained infertility who underwent IUI with a total of 267 IUI cycles in the in vitro fertilization center of our hospital between January 2009 and December 2010. RESULTS Of the ...

Abstract The Intolerance of Uncertainty Inventory (IUI) is a two-part inventory assessing the general unacceptability uncertainty in terms generalized maladaptive beliefs (IUI-A) and specific individuals’ reactions to uncertainty, such as avoidance, doubt, overestimation threat, worry, control seeking reassurance (IUI-B). Previous research has examined factor structure both parts with mixed res...

OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between the estrogen-progesterone alterations before and after ovulation trigger and treatment success in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two hundred fifty-one women with infertility underwent ovulation induction followed by IUI. For all subjects, estradiol and progesterone concentrations were evaluated on the trigger and IUI ...

BACKGROUND There are many factors that affect intrauterine insemination (IUI) success rate and identifying those factors can be helpful. This study aimed to investigate the single versus double IUI in controlled ovarian hyperstimulation cycles. METHODS This is a randomized clinical trial with equal randomization (1:1) conducted on 580 women who underwent IUI in a private infertility clinic fr...

Health-care delivery according to clinical practice guidelines is thought to be critical in achieving optimal outcomes. This study aimed to assess the extent to which practice performance in intrauterine insemination (IUI) care is consistent with guideline recommendations and to evaluate the association between guideline adherence and outcome of IUI care. In a retrospective cohort study, 1100 i...

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-...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of alternative treatments for unexplained infertility. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of 45 published reports. SETTING Clinical practices. PATIENT(S) Couples who met criteria for unexplained infertility. Women with Stage I or Stage II endometriosis were included. INTERVENTION(S) Observation; clomiphene citrate (CC); gonadotropins (...

Objective To evaluate the IUI success factors relative to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and infertility type, this retrospective cohort study included 1251 couples undergoing homologous IUI. Results We achieved 13% clinical pregnancies and 11% live births. COS and infertility type do not have significant effect on IUI clinical outcomes with unstable intervention of various couples' par...
