ABSTRACT

The aim of the present investigation to explore the predictive factors for pregnancy rate after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and intrauterine insemination (IUI). We performed a retrospective, cross-sectional study to find the IUI success rate at a private setting in Solapur, Maharashtra, India. A total number of 465 infertile couples were retrospectively analyzed for their age, duration of infertility, number of preovulatory follicles, endometrial thickness and motile sperm count to explore their relationship with the IUI success. All infertile women underwent basic fertility tests and the controlled ovarian stimulation was done with clomiphene citrate & human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) alone or in combination. Out of 465 patients, 94 patients (20.22%) became pregnant after IUI treatment. Women age, duration of infertility, number of preovulatory follicles and post wash motile sperm count significantly affects pregnancy rate during IUI treatment (P<0.001). Keywords: Intrauterine insemination, pregnancy rate, sperm count, controlled ovarian stimulation, predictive factors, IUI success.
