Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) followed by intratubal insemination in the treatment of infertility. DESIGN:Retrospective analysis of 179 intratubal insemination trials in 78 women over a 48-month period. SETTING:Reproductive endocrinology practice. PATIENTS:Seventy-eight women, 26 to 44 years old (34 +/- 4.3 years; mean +/- SD), classified into subgroups according to diagnosis and age (< 40 or > or = 40 years). INTERVENTIONS:Patients underwent COH and intratubal insemination. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The rates of pregnancy, delivery, spontaneous abortion, ectopic and multiple gestation, and complications were studied and analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Overall, there were 36 pregnancies (20.1% of 179 trials), 29 deliveries (16.2%), 5 of 36 first trimester abortions (13.9%), 2 of 36 ectopic pregnancies (5.6%), and 4 twin gestations. There were no serious complications. In 43 women < 40 years without male factor the first trial resulted in 15 pregnancies (34.9%); in 27 women < 40 years with male factor the first trial resulted in 4 pregnancies (14.8%). Male factor reduced significantly the probability of conception. In 19 women < 40 years of age with either ovarian dysfunction or infertility of unknown cause, the first trial resulted in 9 pregnancies (47.4%), which was significantly better than the 10 pregnancies achieved in the first trial in the remaining 51 women < 40 years of age. Peak serum E2 levels and number of mature follicles had a significant effect on pregnancy rates. CONCLUSIONS:Intratubal insemination yielded pregnancy rates comparable to those published for GIFT at reduced cost and with fewer complications.
