This article has been retracted at the request of the ASRM Publications Committee

Several reports of randomized clinical trials were recently the subject of an investigation conducted by the publications committee of the ASRM. The committee reviewed concerns related to the validity of data reported in those reports. The committee noted significant duplication of data reported in this manuscript with data reported in another journal (PMID 17364286; https://doi.org/10.1080/00016340601090337) and another publication in Fertility and Sterility (PMID: 18692823; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fertnstert.2008.06.013) pertaining to different study groups that could not be explained. As we cannot vouch for the validity of the data, we have issued a retraction of this paper.
