ABSTRACT
Background: The optimum results after intrauterine inseminations depend on several factors. Nowadays, we don’t know the results and characteristics of infertile couples submitted to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) at National Institute of Medical Science and Nutrition Salvador Zubirán (INCMNSZ), located at Mexico City.Objective: To know the results and characteristics of infertile couples submitted to ovarian stimulation and intrauterine insemination at INCMNSZ.
Material and Method: A cross-sectional study developed in infertile couples from January 1st, 2014 to May 31, 2015. We included couples with primary or secondary infertility and complete study protocol by factors (endocrine, infectious, salpinx obstructions and male mild infertility), even the time of infertility evolution, body mass index or antecedent of any other disease.
Results: We analyzed 29 couples, of them only 9 couples (31%) got pregnant after ovarian stimulation and intrauterine insemination. We made 49 cycles of COS with homologous semen samples. The pregnancy rate reported was 18% per cycle. The proportion of women pregnant diagnosed by secondary infertility was significantly greater than those who did not get pregnant (p = 0.014). The semen preparation technique most frequently used in pregnant couples was basic washing (61.5%).
Conclusions: The most relevant prognostic factor in pregnant couples was the secondary infertility antecedent.
