OBJECTIVE To examine the outcome of assisted reproduction techniques (ART) using cryopreserved semen from patients with cancer. DESIGN Prospective. SETTING Therapeutic semen banking program at a tertiary healthcare center. PATIENT(S) Twenty-nine men with cancer who cryopreserved their sperm before treatment at our facility from 1982 to 2001 and withdrew their samples for assisted reproduc...

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...

OBJECTIVE To compare timed intercourse and IUI with the husband's sperm in patients with unexplained infertility who are undergoing superovulation with gonadotropins. DESIGN Meta-analysis. All published reports of randomized, prospective studies with an English-language abstract extracted from MEDLINE were analyzed. A crossover search was done from the papers obtained. SETTING Academic cent...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of stimulated intrauterine insemination (IUI) in women with unilateral tubal occlusion. METHODS Superovulation and IUI was performed during 2003-2010 and the medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Thirty-seven infertile women (52 cycles) with unilateral tubal occlusion diagnosed by hysterosalpingography and without other causes of infertility were se...

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). materials and methods: this was a single-center, prospective, randomized, blinded control trial undertaken at a tertiary care university fertility center between october 2007 and ...

INTRODUCTION Sperm chromatin integrity assessment has been suggested as a fertility predictor. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between the results of sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) and the outcome of IVF, ICSI and intrauterine insemination (IUI). METHODS A total of 306 consecutive couples undergoing assisted reproduction were included. IUI was performed in 131, I...

OBJECTIVE To determine the predictive factors for pregnancy after IUI. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING A single university medical center. PATIENT(S) One thousand thirty-eight IUI cycles in 353 couples were studied between 2002 and 2005. INTERVENTION(S) Ovarian stimulation via SC injection of FSH or hMG was performed daily; IUI was then performed 36 hours after triggering ovulation ...

We report on 332 infertile couples who underwent 1115 cycles of intrauterine insemination (IUI) with washed husband's semen. The indication for IUI was an abnormal post-coital test due to either a male or cervical infertility factor. The mean number of IUI cycles per patients was 3.4, the overall pregnancy rate 18.7%, and the pregnancy rate per cycle 5.6%. The cumulative pregnancy rate calculat...
