Ultrasound Guided Artificial Insemination
Ultrasound Guided Artificial Insemination
The purpose of this study is to ascertain whether using ultrasound guidance during
 intrauterine insemination (IUI) could increase pregnancy rates.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  The woman's inclusion criteria in our IUI program were at least one patent tube,
 normal cavity, basal FSH < 10 mU/mL and age under 40 years.

 -  IUI with husband's sperm (IUI-H) was indicated when, after sperm preparation, at least
 5 million motile spermatozoa were recovered; this was performed in 58 cases (79.45%).

 -  In the remaining 15 cases (20.55%), IUI was performed with donor sperm (IUI-D) either
 because of azoospermia (n=6) failure to recover spermatozoa during testicular biopsy
 (n=5) or in women without a male partner (n=4).

 Exclusion Criteria:

 -  Previous infertility treatments had been carried out.
