A.I.D.--a review of 200 cases.
2OO consecutive cases of couples referred for A.I.D. are reviewed. The reasons for referral are given and the technique and donors are discussed. It is estimated that about 85% of women who receive donor insemination will achieve pregnancy if they presevere. Infertility factors are common in women who present for donor insemination and this usually takes the form of ovarian follicular deficiency, probably with non-ovulation. It is suggested that a biphasic basal temperature record or a secretory endometrium in the luteal phase are unreliable tests for ovulation.
