Double and Single Intrauterine Insemination In Controlled Ovarian Stimulation (COH) Cycles With Multifollicular Development

October 13, 2009 updated by: Baskent University
Our hypothesis is double insemination will improve pregnancy rates in coh cycles with more than one dominant follicles (>16mm).

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Metaanalysis for the effects of double IUI demonstrates that effects of this procedure is not different from single IUI. It is known that nearly 25% of coh cycles is evident by monofollicular development.For this reason it is possible that this monofollicular cycles in the studies could decrease the effects of double IUI.

Inclusion criteria:

  1. Patients with unexplained infertility or mild male factor infertility whom admitted to the COH+IUI programme in our infertility unit.
  2. Female age <37 years old.
  3. Baseline FSH <12 mIU/L
  4. Total antral follicle count>6
  5. During the first three cycles of COH+IUI
  6. Minimum 2 follicles >16 mm at the day of HCG.

Primary outcome:

Ongoing pregnancy rates

Secondary outcomes:

The effects of different coh regimens (CC,FSH,CC+FSH)on the outcomes.
