Abstract

The next step in the treatment of infertility after ovulation induction is usually in vitro fertilization (IVF) or some other sophisticated and expensive assisted reproductive technique. This study looks at the method of superovulation-intrauterine insemination (SO-IUI) as an alternative before IVF in the treatment of infertility. The first 7 months of this programme were reviewed. There was a clinical pregnancy rate of 20.5% per patient. Ninety-six percent of the pregnancies occurred in the first two cycles. The cycle-cancellation rate was 5.1%. The highest success was in couples with ovulatory disorders, endometriosis and cervical factor infertility. The study suggested that SO-IUI is a cheaper and effective additional tool in the treatment of some infertility disorders before proceeding to IVF or other sophisticated techniques.
