Abstract:

Backgroud: Artificial insemination, a simple and cost effective form of fertility treatment (when indicated) is reported to have a low success rate worldwide (less than 20%). Hence, any scientific innovation that could improve on the aforementioned success rate will be well appreciated by both practitioners and couples trying to conceive through this process. Aim: To evaluate the effect of performing intrauterine insemination after confirmation of ovulation on its success. Method: An observational study was carried out on 65 consecutive women who underwent intrauterine insemination between March 2015 and October 2016 at Kingswill specialist hospital. Lagos The procedure was performed after ultrasound scan confirmation of ovulation. All the patients had luteal support with 400 mg of progesterone suppository daily. Result: 28 out of the 65 patients (43.08%) that underwent the procedure (first cycle) were confirmed pregnant 14 days after the procedure. Conclusion: Confirmation of ovulation before performing artificial insemination may be the key in improving its pregnancy rate. This may reduce the number of failed cycles that may eventually require IVF.
