Case series of a single centre's treatment of ovulatory infertility with clomiphene citrate and intrauterine insemination in 2002.
The present paper reports a single department's retrospective case series of all clomiphene citrate (CC) combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment cycles for ovulatory infertility performed during 2002. Thirty-eight couples with unexplained, endometriosis, male or unilateral tubal factor infertility had undergone 71 cycles of CC and IUI. The clinical and ongoing cycle pregnancy rates were 20 and 17%, respectively. Seven percent of the clinical pregnancies were multiple pregnancies, with all multiple pregnancies being twin gestations. The current use of CC and IUI is an effective early treatment option in couples with ovulatory infertility presenting to our department.
