Summary
The aim of this study is to assess the impact of the timing of intrauterine insemination (IUI) in relation to the natural surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), as detected by home ovulation predictor kits, on pregnancy rates per treatment cycle. The study will take place at the offices of Midwest Fertility Specialists and include patients who have been independently recommended by their primary physician to undergo ovulation induction with clomiphene citrate (CC) or letrozole and IUI as therapy for infertility.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- All couples consisting of male and female partner undergoing CC or letrozole cycle plus IUI at a single infertility center (Midwest Fertility Specialists)
- The female partner must be aged 21-39
- Infertile couples include those with a diagnosis(s) of unexplained infertility, mild male factor, ovulatory dysfunction, or anovulation
- Evidence of a normal uterus and at least unilateral tubal patency on saline infusion sonogram or hysterosalpingogram within the last 2 years
- Semen analysis for male partner must have minimal sperm concentration of 10 million per milliliter
Exclusion Criteria
- Recurrent miscarriages
- Nursing mothers
- Diagnoses of primary ovarian failure, diminishing ovarian reserve (as indicated by blood follicle stimulating hormone >10 milliInternationalUnits/mL and/or anti-mullerian hormone level <0.5), abnormal uterine bleeding of undetermined origin, ovarian cyst of undetermined origin, stage IV endometriosis, or sex-hormone dependent tumors
- Documented bilateral tubal obstruction or other uncorrected uterine anomalies (e.g. uterine septum)
- Previous gonadotropin use and/or previous treatment with in vitro fertilization
- Abnormal semen analysis (sperm concentration less than 10 million per mL) or ejaculatory dysfunction in male partner
- Other uncorrected medical condition in female partner that would be a contraindication to attempting elective ovulation induction (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, intracranial lesion, thyroid or adrenal disease)
