The clinical pregnancy rate was highest in the IUI/DIPI and GIFT groups: IUI/DIPI, 29.3%; GIFT, 28.6%; and COHS, 8.9%. We believe that controlled ovarian hyperstimulation combined with IUI and DIPI is a good alternative to GIFT.\nSimilar content being viewed by others\nReferences\nCraft I, Shawaf TA, Lewis P, Serhal P, Simons E, Ah-Moye M, Fiamanya W, Robertson D, Shrivastar P, Brinsden P: Analysis of 1071 GIFT procedures—the case for a flexible approach to treatment.
