)actors affecting success in intrauterine insemination cycles 2-year single center e[perience

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the success rates of intrauterine insemination cycles due to ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate and gonadotropins, and to identify factors associated with successful outcomes in women with unexplained infertility and ovulatory dysfunction. Material and Methods: Between June 2017 and October 2019, 223 intrauterine insemination cycle records were scanned retrospectively in 152 infertile couples diagnosed with ovulatory dysfunction or unexplained infertility. Result: A total of 33 positive pregnancy test results were obtained, which had shown a pregnancy success rate of 14.8%. Pregnancy success rate in Gonadotropin IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) cycles was found as 16.6% and pregnancy success rate in CC (Clomiphene Citrate) IUI cycles was found as 9.3%. While it has been detected that smoking has had a negative effect on IUI success rate for the infertile population with ovulatory dysfunction and unexplained infertility (p=0.012); factors such as female age, BMI (Body mass index), infertility span, basal FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone), basal LH (Luteinizing Hormone), basal estradiol levels and trigger-day endometrial thickness were found to have no correlation with IUI success rate at all.
