- Abstract
Aims and Objectives: Intrauterine insemination(IUI) is one of the common treatment option given to couples with infertility. The success of an IUI cycle can depend on various factors. Several studies in the past have reported numerous factors affecting the result of IUI. We aimed to study various factors which can positively affect the success of IUI cycle. Materials and Methods: This is retrospective study conducted at Department of Reproductive Medicine from January 2016 to December 2019 where data from1027 IUI cycles was analysed. Results: The clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate in our study was 7.4 % and 6.3 % respectively. Factors which favoured a positive outcome in IUI were the number of preovulatory follicles, endometrial thickness on the day of trigger, total motile sperm count. Also the use of low dose gonadotropins had a better outcome when compared to letrozole alone. Factors which did not affect the IUI outcomes were the cause of infertility or the number of IUI cycle. Conclusion: The chances of conception in an IUI cycle correlate positively with the number of preovulatory follicles, the endometrial thickness and total motile sperm count. Based on these parametrers couples can be counselled about their outcome and steps can be taken to improve their outcome in an IUI cycle.
