Abstract

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to compare the pregnancy rate in an artificial insemination donor program in women with minimal endometriosis and in women without endometriosis.Study designA prospective double-blinded study was conducted in women with azoospermic partners.ResultsThe per-cycle pregnancy rate was 8.6% (9/104 women) in the minimal endometriosis group vs 13.3% (26/196 women) in the control group. The per-woman pregnancy rate was 37.5% (9/24 women) in the minimal endometriosis group and 51.0% (26/51 women) in the control group.ConclusionPregnancy rates were statistically similar in normal women and in women with minimal endometriosis.
