The relationship between total motile sperm count and the success of intrauterine insemination.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To determine if the total motile sperm count is predictive of IUI success and to apply life-table analysis to a large database of IUI procedures. DESIGN:Contingency table and life-table analyses were used to analyze a large group of couples (n = 546) undergoing 1,205 cycles of therapeutic IUI with husband's sperm. SETTING:Clinical infertility practice at a medical school referral center. PATIENTS:Five hundred forty-six couples with varying etiologies of infertility. RESULTS:There was a trend toward an increasing percentage of conception with increasing total motile sperm count. Significance was reached when the total motile sperm count used for IUI exceeded 20 x 10(6). The cumulative pregnancy rate calculated from this data reached 52% after the sixth attempted cycle of IUI.

  • Effect of halving the daily dose of triptorelin at the start of ovarian stimulation on hormone serum levels and the outcome of in vitro fertilization.
