Abstract:

Infertility affects millions of people of reproductive age worldwide and has an impact on their families and communities. Infertility is a disease of male or female reproductive system defined by failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Infertility is treated by different fertility drugs, ovulation induction (OI), intrauterine insemination (IUI) and in-vitro fertilization (IVF). The aim of the study is to find out the significant difference in pregnancy rate with different OI protocols used for IUI. OI is the first line treatment given to infertile women. In OI, medications are given to women for egg development and for release of eggs. OI is monitored by follicular study by ultrasonography. Semen is collected from the male partner and processed with culture media to retrieve high motile sperms, which are injected into the uterus of the female. A prospective randomized study was performed among 1343 IUI cycles. OI is started on Day 2 or Day 3 of the menstrual cycle. OI protocol is grouped according to the fertility drugs used for stimulation. The fertility drugs used for the stimulation are Clomiphene Citrate, Letrozole, Recombinant Gonadotropins, Human menopausal Gonadotropins (HMG), Human chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG). Group A uses Clomiphene citrate and HCG, Group B uses Clome, recombinant Gonadotropins and HCG. Group C uses Clome, Human menopausal Gonadotropin and HCG; Group D uses Letrozole and HCG. Group E uses Letrozole recombinant Gonadotropin and HCG. Group F used Letrozole, Human menopausal Gonadotropin and HCG. Group G used recombinant Gonadotropin and HCG. Group H used Human menopausal Gonadotropin and HCG. Group I uses only HCG. Group J was a natural cycle monitoring without any medication and was used as a control. Pregnancy rates were calculated for different age groups with different protocols. The result shows that Group B had 13% pregnancy, Group C had 9%, Group D had 3%, Group E had 10%, Group G had 11%, Group G had 11%, Group H had 7%, Group I had 4%, and Group J had 8% of pregnancy rate. The statistical analysis shows there is no significant difference with different stimulation protocols used.
