Abstract

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) offers a less invasive, less time-consuming and less expensive method of infertility treatment compared to in-vitro fertilisation. 1005 IUI cycles in 349 women were analysed retrospectively. In 29.2% of these women at least one pregnancy was achieved by IUI. The pregnancy rate per cycle was 9.4-11.7% in the first 4 cycles and decreased thereafter. The female age influenced the chance of conceiving (13.0, 10.6 and 6.8% with a female age of ≤ 30, 31-35 and 36-40 years, respectively) as well as the cause of infertility. The duration of infertility correlated with the pregnancy rate, but without reaching statistical significance. The pregnancy rate also decreased with a spermatozoa concentration < 20 million/ml, with < 5% of normal morphology and with < 50% motile spermatozoa. The percentage of non-pregnant patients who discontinued therapy early was only 4.8-16.0% per cycle. However the percentage of patients who switched to an ICSI therapy increased from 9.9% after the first cycle to 37.1 % after the sixth cycle.
