ABSTRACT:

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is often combined with oral ovulation induction agents or gonadotropins for the treatment of infertility. Daily IUI on two consecutive days “double IUI” has emerged as a treatment option that may result in better pregnancy rates. There is conflicting data regarding the benefit of double IUI for male factor infertility.We hypothesized that double IUI clinical pregnancy rates (CPR) would be greater for patients with male factor infertility.
