Location of semen collection and time interval from collection to use for intrauterine insemination.
The location of semen collection (home vs. clinic) for IUI did not affect pregnancy rates in a general infertility population (633 IUI cycles from 335 patients), if World Health Organization guidelines for time from specimen collection to use were followed. The time interval from semen collection to IUI was not different between patients who conceived and those who did not (pregnant vs. nonpregnant, 70 +/- 19 minutes vs. 73 +/- 18 minutes).
