A case of successful use of reproductive technology for a couple with subfertility due to retrograde ejaculation, where artificial insemination had failed.
A case history of a couple where the infertility was due to retrograde ejaculation is presented; when conventional treatment with artificial insemination using sperm isolated from postejaculatory urine failed, IVF and GIFT technology was applied. This resulted in a pregnancy which unfortunately failed at 3 months, unrelated to the method of conception. This case report highlights the possible use of IVF/GIFT for yet another type of male subfertility.
