Materials and Methods: This was a prospective, cohort study in Hajar Hospital of Shahrekord, southwest Iran from March, 2013 to June, 2014 (within 15 months). Thirty women achieving pregnancy with intrauterine insemination and in vitro fertilization were compared with 60 women getting pregnant naturally. Between the days 59 and 83 after insemination, fetal CRL was examined by ultrasound. Then, ...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether characteristics of sperm motility obtained by computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA) could predict pregnancy after intrauterine insemination (IUI) in couples with unexplained infertility. METHODS Three hundred eighty-three cycles of intrauterine insemination with superovulation were retrospectively analyzed. Semen analysis was performed with CASA before and aft...

Background: Although intrauterine insemination (IUI) is one of the most common methods which is used for male factor and unexplained infertility, the relative influence of various semen parameters on the likelihood of a successful outcome is controversial. Several semen parameters have been evaluated as predictors of a successful outcome with intrauterine insemination. Objective: To evaluate th...

BACKGROUND: We present a case of primary infertility related to extreme cervical stenosis, a subset of cervical factor infertility which accounts for approximately 5% of all clinical infertility referrals. CASE PRESENTATION: A 37 year-old nulligravida was successfully treated with ovulation induction via recombinant follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and direct intraperitoneal insemination (IPI...

BACKGROUND Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is the first therapeutic step in assisted reproductive techniques and many factors, including male and female infertility and technique-dependent factors, have been reported to influence pregnancy rates after IUI. METHODS We carried out this retrospective study on 1201 couples undergoing 3012 intrauterine insemination cycles during 2002 to 2009. Preg...

Canine epididymides were excised and immediately stored at 4 degrees C for 48 hr, and the qualities of caudal epididymal sperm after recovery and cryopreservation were evaluated. To confirm the fertility of the cryopreserved caudal epididymal sperm, artificial intrauterine insemination was performed. The sperm motility (61.0%) immediately after recovery from caudal epididymis stored at 4 degree...

BACKGROUND N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) was proposed as an adjuvant to clomiphene citrate for ovulation induction in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) without clomiphene citrate resistance. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of NAC on pregnancy rate in PCOS patients who were candidates for intrauterine insemination. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this randomized clinical trial, 97 PCOS wome...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of body composition on reproduction in women with unexplained infertility treated with a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination programme. METHODS This prospective observational study was conducted on 308 unexplained infertile women who were scheduled for a controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and intrauterine insemination programme and ...
