Abstract

Introductions: Intrauterine insemination with or without super ovulation has been proposed for the treatment of certain reproductive problems, Including male Sub Fertility, poor cervical mucus, presence of anti-sperm antibodies, minimal or mild endometriosis, and ovulation disorders refractory to previous attempts for ovulation and unexplained in fertility. To compare the pregnancy rates achieved by IUI in this center with other centers. Material and Methods: A descriptive study in 88 cycles of 75 infertile couples during 2 years (2001 – 2003). 67 cycles stimulated with HMG+ CC and 21 cycles with CC alone. The patients divided to 4 groups according to cause of infertility G1: anovulatory, G2: male, G3: anovulatory + male and G4: unexplained. Results: Pregnancy rate was 16% per patient and 13.6 % per cycle of 12 pregnancies, 6 were Term deliveries, 2 ongoing, 2 abortions, 1 IUFD, 1 pre-term and 1 Twin Pregnancy. This study didn’t show a statistical significant difference between HMG+ CC and CC cycles (P>0.85) and no differences existed between pregnancy rates in different causes of infertility. (0.1 < P < 0.2) Conclusion: As in 67 cycles, HMG+CC has been used to stimulate the ovulation and the mean of using HMG has been 10, so this method can be used for the people who didn’t have any suitable response to CC and also for the people due to having OHSS, fear to use HMG. And consequently, the consumption rate (HMG) can be reduced.
