Background: Controlled ovarian hyper stimulation (COH) in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (IUI) is frequently used to treat various causes of infertility in couples. In this study we evaluate the relation between IUI outcomes and infertility with the intent to detect the most important parameters that pertain to a successful IUI. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, ...

OBJECTIVE To compare fecundity rates following intrauterine insemination (IUI) with donor sperm frozen conventionally versus an IUI-ready preparation. DESIGN Both retrospective results and a prospective, randomized study where recipients were assigned to one of two sperm cryopreservation methods in each cycle of intrauterine insemination are reported. SETTING University-based infertility pr...

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) has been widely used for the treatment of infertility. Several prognostic factors for IUI outcome have been proposed, including the endometrial thickness and follicle numbers, etiology and duration of infertility and morphology, type and motility of sperms. A total of 463 IUI cycles in which clomiphene citrate and/or human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) were used...

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...

To assess whether high BMI of >30kg/m2 affects outcome Intrauterine Insemination method(IUI). We conducted a retrospective study 140 infertile couples. Out these 71 women had <30 (Group A) and 69 >30 B). All undergone (IUI) using the agonist/antagonist with stimulation by gonadotrophins protocol. Statistical anylasis was done Student t test for parametric data Chi-square...

OBJECTIVE To identify prognostic factors influencing the outcome of infertility treatment using intrauterine insemination with donor semen (IUI-D). DESIGN Retrospective study of all patients undergoing IUI-D between August 1st, 1990 and July 31st, 1998. SETTING University-affiliated infertility clinic. PATIENTS Three hundred and five couples undergoing 1131 IUI-D treatment cycles. MAIN ...

Background To assess the efficacy of luteal phase support (LPS) with vaginal progesterone (P) on pregnancy rates of the stimulated intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles in couples with unexplained infertility (UEI). MaterialsAndMethods This was a single-center, prospective, randomized, blinded control trial undertaken at a tertiary care university fertility center between October 2007 and Dece...

BACKGROUND One-third of subfertile couples have no identifiable cause for their inability to conceive. In vitro fertilisation (IVF) is a widely accepted treatment for this condition; however, this treatment is invasive and expensive and is associated with risks. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of IVF compared with expectant management, unstimulated intrauterine inseminatio...

Objective: The objective of the present study was to detect the presence of any sperm selecting and / or motivating factor in the cervical mucus (CM) of ovulatory women, which, in turn, might influence pregnancy rate. Materials & Methods: The study was conducted with 190 infertile couples, having indications for moderate seminopathy, enlisted for intra-uterine insemination (IUI), following rout...
