Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and IUI in the treatment of unexplained infertility.

Design: The pregnancy rate (PR) in patients with unexplained infertility treated by COH and IUI (group A) was compared with a no-treatment control (group B).

Setting: The Egyptian IVF-ET Center.

Participants: Four hundred ninety-two patients with the diagnosis of unexplained infertility.

Intervention: Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IUI.

Main outcome measures: Cycle fecundity per treatment cycle and PR per patient.

Results: In group A cycle fecundity was 20.1% per treatment cycle, and the PR was 34.7% per patient. In group B the PR was 8.9% per patient. Pregnancy rate per patient was significantly higher in group A when compared with the spontaneous PR in group B.

Conclusion: Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation and IUI significantly increased the PR in patients with unexplained infertility when compared with a no-treatment control group.
