Aim: To evaluate the effect of solely intrauterine insemination on perinatal outcomes.
Methods: A total of 3830 OI/IUI cycles between January 2007 and December 2012 were included in the study. Three hundred and fifty-eight pregnancies following intrauterine insemination were encountered during the study period. Data from 246 pregnancies conceived through OI/IUI treatment were available. A total of 438 singletons with no maternal risk constituted the control group. The two groups were compared according to perinatal outcomes.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in first trimester abortion and intrauterine demise. At least one or more perinatal adverse outcomes occurred in study and control groups with the rates of 38.4% and 18.5%, respectively. There were significant differences in preterm delivery rate and oligohydramnios between the groups. There were also significant differences in the rate of neonates with a birth weight < 2500 g and NICU.
Conclusion: In general, women's health perspective, to have a pregnancy is the main target in infertility work-ups, but physicians should be aware of the risks and couples should be counseled that pregnancies after OI/IUI treatment even if singleton carries a risk of adverse perinatal outcome for both the mother and baby.

Background: There are limited and controversial findings concerning ovulation induction using intrauterine and intramuscular human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection compared to intramuscular hCG alone. The study aimed to examine the impact of intrauterine hCG injection, which is used to induce ovulation, on the efficacy of the intrauterine insemination (IUI) technique in patients with unexplained infertility.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted involving 80 subjects with unexplained primary infertility at the infertility clinic of Al-Zahra Hospital in northwest Iran.

Article Synopsis
- Unintended pregnancies are associated with increased mental health risks, particularly for women, who experience higher levels of psychological distress, chronic pain, and death fantasies compared to those with intended pregnancies.
- The study analyzed responses from over 7,000 women and 1,700 men, examining various conception methods and their impact on mental health before and after childbirth.
- Additionally, men undergoing fertility treatments, especially those using scheduled intercourse or insemination, also exhibited significant mental health challenges, highlighting the need for support in these populations.
