Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To determine the effect of clomiphene/hMG combined superovulation with intrauterine insemination on pregnancy outcomes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eighty-one cycles of clomiphene/hMG combined superovulation with intrauterine insemination in forty-three infertile couples were analysed retrospectively.
RESULTS
The overall pregnancy rate was 39.5% per patient and 20.9% per cycle. Each pregnancy rate of infertility due to ovulatory dysfunction, unexplained infertility and endometriosis was 43.8%, 40.0%, and 25.0% per patient respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Clomiphene/hMG superovulation with intrauterine insemination is a simple, cost effective and safe treatment modality in the management of infertility, and may improve a pregnancy rate.
