Predictive Variables For Pregnancy After Intrauterine Insemination: A Prospective Investigation Of Outcome Factors

Aim: The aim of this study to determine the predictive variables for pregnancy after intrauterine insemination. Material and methods: It is a prospective observation study of couples who come to our institution for therapeutic IUI. Indications included unexplained infertility after three years of marriage, minor sperm malfunction and anovulation, spouse travelling and only visited for a brief time. Inclusion criteria also included being between the ages of 20 and 45, having a BMI of 30kg/m2, having a normal uterine cavity, and having patent tubes confirmed by HSG or laparoscopy. Results: Total 100 individuals were enrolled in all, and they underwent 120 cycles over the research time. In terms of etiological causes, anovulation was the most common (16%), followed by unexplained infertility and male factor (13.33% and 8%, respectively). Endometriosis was present in 0% of the cycles. Pregnancy rates following ovulation inducement were 11.67% and 13.33% in cases with unexplained infertility. overall pregnancy rates per cycle was 11.67% of these 8.33% were live births while 2 resulted in miscarriage and 2 ended as ectopic pregnancy. There were no multiple pregnancies. Conclusion: we concluded that the age, infertility length 5 years, and increasing days of stimulation to >7 days by adding gonadotropins to CC or aromatase inhibitors appeared as important variables in this research. More prognostic variables might be found with a large-scale investigation.
