Is IUI with ovarian stimulation effective in couples with unexplained subfertility?
Human Reproduction Dec 20, 2018
van Eekelen R, et al. - Researchers evaluated if starting IUI with ovarian stimulation (IUI-OS) within 1.5 years after completion of the fertility workup increase ongoing pregnancy rates compared to expectant management in couples with unexplained subfertility. They conducted a prospective cohort study on couples with unexplained or mild male subfertility who could start IUI-OS at any point after completion of the fertility workup, recruited in seven Dutch centres between January 2002 and February 2004. Findings suggested an association of IUI-OS with higher chances of ongoing pregnancy compared to expectant management in unexplained subfertile couples, specifically those with poor prognoses of natural conception, ie <15% over 6 months or <25% over 1 year.
