Couples dropping out of a reimbursed intrauterine insemination program: what is their prognostic profile and why do they drop out?

Objective: To evaluate whether baseline characteristics and prognostic profiles differed between couples who drop out from intrauterine insemination (IUI) and couples that continue IUI, and the reasons for couples dropping out from IUI programs.

Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.

Setting: Fertility centers.

Immobilisation versus immediate mobilisation after intrauterine insemination: randomised controlled trial.

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of 15 minutes of immobilisation versus immediate mobilisation after intrauterine insemination.

Design: Randomised controlled trial. Setting One academic teaching hospital and six non-academic teaching hospitals.

Patients' preferences for intrauterine insemination or in-vitro fertilization.

Patients' preferences for intrauterine insemination (IUI) relative to IVF were assessed using trade-off interviews, and the number of IUI cycles they would undergo before changing to IVF. A total of 73 couples undergoing IUI with a total of 111 interviews were included. Scenarios were offered where pregnancy chance after IUI was varied against a fixed pregnancy rate after IVF.
