Objective: To evaluate the IUI success factors relative to controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) and infertility type, this retrospective cohort study included 1251 couples undergoing homologous IUI.
Results: We achieved 13% clinical pregnancies and 11% live births. COS and infertility type do not have significant effect on IUI clinical outcomes with unstable intervention of various couples' parameters, including the female age, the IUI attempt rank, and the sperm quality.
Conclusion: Further, the COS used seemed a weak predictor for IUI success; therefore, the indications need more discussion, especially in unexplained infertility cases involving various factors. Indeed, the fourth IUI attempt, the female age over 40 years, and the total motile sperm count <5 × 10 were critical in decreasing the positive clinical outcomes of IUI. Those parameter cut-offs necessitate a larger analysis to give infertile couples more chances through IUI before carrying out other ART techniques.

Sperm morphology value in assisted reproduction: dismantling an enigma and key takeaways for the busy clinician.

The ideal morphology of the sperm cell was initially described based on the characteristics of sperm able to migrate through the endocervical canal assuming these had the best fertilization potential. Sperm morphology assessment has moved over the years toward stricter criteria based on the findings from studies that underline its value in successful reproductive outcomes. While treatment options are clear for some conditions related to abnormal sperm morphology, the value of sperm morphology in assisted reproduction requires further investigation.

Background: The role of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in managing unexplained infertility (UI) is debatable because of the improved success rate of assisted reproductive technologies (ART). This study aims to assess the findings of laparoscopy and hysteroscopy in selected women diagnosed with UI to determine the frequency of such pathological conditions in order to manage them properly.
Materials And Methods: The current cross-sectional study was conducted on 96 women who attended an infertility clinic at the educational hospitals of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences from March 2018 to February 2020.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the comparative reproductive outcomes of ovarian stimulation combined with intrauterine insemination using partner's sperm (OS-IUI) in eumenorrheic and normogonadotropic oligomenorrheic women.
Method: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, including 3833 couples who underwent 5920 cycles of OS-IUI between June 2013 and March 2019. Participants were stratified into two cohorts based on menstrual regularity: eumenorrheic and normogonadotropic oligomenorrheic.

This study aimed to investigate the influence of various sperm quality characteristics, including morphology, motility, and count, on the success rates of clinical pregnancy achieved through assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF), intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and intrauterine insemination (IUI). The secondary objective was to assess the impact of these sperm parameters on the clinical pregnancy rate that resulted in the detection of a fetal heartbeat during the 11th week of gestation, a crucial milestone in successful ART-derived pregnancies. The researchers employed a retrospective analysis, evaluating data from 734 couples undergoing IVF/ICSI and 1197 couples undergoing IUI across two infertility centers.

Recent advancements in assisted reproductive technology (ART) have enabled couples to achieve pregnancy, who were previously unable to conceive. However, recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a significant challenge. This case study exhibits the effective use of hysteroscopic-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) instillation in the treatment of a female patient aged 33 who was nulliparous and diagnosed with RIF and a thin endometrium, which resulted in primary infertility.
