Objective. Determine which factors predict multiple pregnancy in gonadotropin-intrauterine insemination cycles so that cancellation criteria might be developed. Study Design. Retrospective chart review of all patients undergoing gonadotropin-intrauterine insemination over a continuous 36 month period. Results. No factors examined were able to predict the occurrence of multiple pregnancy. Conclu...

Background: Recurrent abortion is defined as three or more consecutive pregnancy losses. We aimed to determine the relationship between male sperm parameters and hypo-osmotic swelling score and recurrent abortion. We also studied whether washing of spermatozoa and intrauterine insemination in patients with recurrent miscarriage and low score hypo-osmotic swelling test in male partners could imp...

The cause of infertility is unexplained in about 22-28% of all infertile couples. The prognosis for spontaneous pregnancy in such couples is better than in those with diagnosed causes of infertility. Traditional treatment options in this group have included expectant management, clomifene citrate, intrauterine insemination with (super ovulation plus intrauterine insemination) or without (intrau...

Purpose: This study sought (i) to investigate the relationship between Postwash total motile sperm count and Postwash percentage motile sperm in predicting successful intrauterine insemination and (ii) to determine the minimal Postwash total motile sperm count required to achieve pregnancy with intrauterine insemination. Methods: Five hundred four women, who underwent 1636 intrauterine insemina...

background: intrauterine insemination (iui) is one of the most appropriate and cost-effective methods in infertility treatment. objective: we aimed to investigate effect of vaginal misoprostol on pregnancy rate after iui. materials and methods: two hundred and ten infertile women who were referred to infertility clinic of alzahra hospital by an indication of iui during 2012-2013 were randomly a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of 15 minutes of immobilisation versus immediate mobilisation after intrauterine insemination. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. Setting One academic teaching hospital and six non-academic teaching hospitals. PARTICIPANTS Women having intrauterine insemination for unexplained, cervical factor, or male subfertility. INTERVENTIONS 15 minutes of immo...

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) as a type of artificial insemination involves the placement of sperm directly into the uterus at the time of ovulation, either in a natural menstrual cycle or following ovarian stimulation. The process allows the concentration of sperm in a small volume of culture media and then the concentrated sperm is placed into the uterus through a transcervical catheter. IU...

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of clomifene citrate and unstimulated intrauterine insemination with expectant management for the treatment of unexplained infertility. DESIGN Three arm parallel group, pragmatic randomised controlled trial. SETTING Four teaching hospitals and a district general hospital in Scotland. PARTICIPANTS Couples with infertility for over two years, confirmed...
