Clomiphene-regulated ovulation for donor artificial insemination.
Seventeen couples with male-caused infertility requested donor artificial insemination between January 1, 1973, and December 31, 1974. All of the women were evaluated prior to the inseminations and were found to be ovulatory. They were treated with clomiphene, citrate 50 mg/day for 5 days beginning on day 4,5, or 6 of a menstrual cycle, and scheduled for two inseminations on the 5th and 7th days after completion of the clomiphene regimen. Fresh semen placed in cervical cups was used for the inseminations. The procedure was repeated in the following months until conception occurred.
