Abstract

Method

We performed direct intraperitoneal insemination in combination with superovulation and washed husband's spermatozoa as the treatment of infertility caused by oligospermia, cervical subfertility, or ovulatory dys-function or idiopathic infertility in 162 couples during 360 cycles.

Results

The pregnancy rate per couple was 21.9% in the cervical-factor group, 20.9% in the idiopathic group, 4.9% in the oligospermia group, and 15.5% in the ovulatory dysfunction group.

Conclusion

The pregnancy rate was 33.3% for all couples and 15.0% for all cycles.
