A comparison of intrauterine insemination, intraperitoneal insemination, and natural intercourse in superovulated women.
In a prospective comparison of IP, IUI, and natural intercourse following superovulation in couples diagnosed as having unexplained infertility, semen factors, or sperm antibodies, pregnancy rates were found to be significantly higher after IP. Pregnancy rates were also higher in the unexplained infertility group when compared with those with semen factors. It was concluded that IP in combination with superovulation offered a simple, inexpensive, safe alternative to GIFT.
