Direct intraperitoneal insemination and controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in subfertile couples.

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 dysfunction 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.
