Abstract

Between 1977 and 1987, 14 couples in whom the male partner had retrograde ejaculation were treated with artificial insemination using the husband's sperm (AIH). There were 6 pregnancies in 4 couples, giving a cumulative probability of pregnancy at 12 months of 72%. The success rate depended on a number of factors, including semen quality, methods of sperm extraction from the urine, timing of ovulation and other complicating fertility factors.
