BACKGROUND: Artificial insemination (intrauterine insemination by husbandor artificial insemination by husband) is often tried as firsttreatment for couples with unexplained infertility. Pertubationhas previously proved to increase the chance of achieving pregnancyfor these couples. The effect of pertubation on fertility canbe mechanical as well as anti-inflammatory by using a substancethat inhibits phagocytosis of the spermatozoa. The objectiveof the study was to investigate the effect on pregnancy rateof pre-ovulatory pertubation with low-dose lignocaine duringclomiphene citrate and insemination cycles for couples withunexplained infertility. METHODS: In a prospective, open study, the patients were randomized,the day before ovulation, during a clomiphene citrate stimulatedcycle to either pertubation with low-dose local anaestheticor no pertubation before insemination. RESULTS: A total of 130 cycles were studied, 67 of which were randomizedto pre-ovulatory pertubation and 63 to no pertubation treatment.There were 14.9% (n = 10) clinical pregnancies in the pertubatedgroup compared with 3.2% (n = 2) in the group without pre-ovulatorypertubation (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The pertubation treatment significantly enhanced the clinicalpregnancy rate and was well tolerated. No complications werenoted. The combined treatment of clomiphene citrate, pertubationand insemination can be used as a cost-effective, first-linetreatment for couples with unexplained infertility. 相似文献

Introduction
The aim of this retrospective case control study was to identify predictors of ovarian response and pregnancy outcomes in intrauterine insemination (IUI).Material and methods
One hundred women undergoing IUI cycles with clomiphene citrate were enrolled. The number of antral follicles and the total ovarian volume by ultrasound, and the basal levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), estradiol, and inhibin B on cycle day 3 were measured in groups that were divided according to ovarian response. The tests were also evaluated according to ovarian response and pregnancy outcomes. All analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 15.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA).Results
The antral follicle count (AFC) was the best single predictor for ovarian response and pregnancy outcomes. The sensitivity and specificity for prediction of ovarian response were 81% and 78% for AFC at an optimum cutoff value of ≤ 13.1. Age was negatively correlated with ovarian volume (r = –0.280, p = 0.021) and AFC (r = –0.358, p = 0.003). Increasing FSH was associated with a reduction in AFC (r = –0.273, p = 0.025). The AFC was significantly correlated with ovarian volume (r = 0.660, p < 0.0001) and FSH (r = –0.273, p = 0.03).Conclusions
Our data demonstrate that the AFC provides better prognostic information on the occurrence of ovarian response during clomiphene citrate stimulation for IUI. 相似文献3.

A prospective randomized study was designed to compare gameteintra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) and in-vitro fertilization (IVF)and embryo transfer in the treatment of couples who have failedto conceive after at least three cycles of ovarian stimulationand intrauterine insemination (IUI). A total of 69 couples withprimary unexplained infertility of at least 2 years' durationplus at least three failed cycles of ovarian stimulation andIUI were randomly allocated to either GIFT or IVF/embryo transfer.The clinical pregnancy rate was 34% after GIFT treatment and50% after IVF/embryo transfer. This difference was not statisticallysignificant. The twin rate in the IVF/embryo transfer groupwas higher than in the GIFT group (53 versus 17%, P = 0.005).We conclude that patients with unexplained infertility and failedovarian stimulation and IUI can still achieve encouraging pregnancyrates with IVF/embryo transfer or GIFT. Since IVF/embryo transferis the least invasive of the two procedures and may yield diagnosticinformation, we would favour this therapy; however, the numberof embryos transferred should be reduced to two to reduce therisk of twin pregnancy. 相似文献

The effects of clomiphene citrate upon ovulation and endocrinology when administered to patients with unexplained infertility 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Twenty-four couples with unexplained infertility were studied in a spontaneous cycle followed by a clomiphene citrate (CC) cycle (150 mg, days 5-9). All spontaneous cycles were ovulatory, as defined by follicular collapse determined by transvaginal sonography. In CC cycles, 6/24 (25%) cycles demonstrated luteinized unruptured follicles (LUF). In 2/6 LUF cycles there was no apparent luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. LUF cycles had significantly elevated LH levels in the follicular phase compared to ovulatory CC cycles. There was no apparent difference in serum oestradiol. In CC cycles multifollicular development occurred in 87.5% of cycles, with significantly elevated serum oestradiol. Luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone were elevated in the follicular phase compared to spontaneous cycles. This study suggests a high incidence of LUF when CC is administered to ovulatory patients, and its use in patients with ovulatory infertility is questioned. 相似文献

Aromatase inhibition reduces gonadotrophin dose required for controlled ovarian stimulation in women with unexplained infertility 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
BACKGROUND: Adding clomiphene citrate (CC) to FSH for controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) decreases FSH dose required for optimum stimulation. However, because of its anti-estrogenic effects, CC may be associated with lower pregnancy rates offsetting the FSH-dose reduction benefit. Previously, we reported the success of aromatase inhibition in inducing ovulation without antiestrogenic effects. METHODS: A prospective pilot study that included women with unexplained infertility undergoing COS and intrauterine insemination. Thirty-six women received the aromatase inhibitor letrozole + FSH, 18 women received CC + FSH and 56 women received FSH only. Each woman received one treatment regimen in one treatment cycle. All patients were given recombinant or highly purified FSH (50-150 IU/day) starting on day 3 to 7 until day of hCG. RESULTS: The FSH dose needed was significantly lower in letrozole + FSH and CC + FSH groups compared with FSH-only without a difference in number of follicles >1.8 cm. Pregnancy rate was 19.1% in the letrozole + FSH group, 10.5% in the CC + FSH group and 18.7% in the FSH-only group. Both pregnancy rate and endometrial thickness were significantly lower in CC + FSH group compared with the other two groups. Estradiol (E2) levels were significantly lower in the letrozole + FSH group compared with the other two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Similar to CC, aromatase inhibition with letrozole reduces FSH dose required for COS without the undesirable antiestrogenic effects sometimes seen with CC. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to determine the incidence and recurrence rate of luteinized unruptured follicle (LUF) syndrome in women with unexplained infertility undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). METHODS: A total of 167 women with unexplained infertility who underwent 292 cycles of IUI were enrolled in the study. All patients were treated with clomiphene citrate, 50-150 mg/daily from day 5 to 9 of their menstrual cycle. Ultrasound examination to confirm ovulation was performed on the day of IUI (day 0) and every day thereafter for another 3 days (days 1, 2 and 3). A total of 69 women who failed to conceive in the first cycle and 56 women who failed to conceive in the second cycle underwent second and third cycles, respectively. RESULTS: Of the total 167 patients who underwent first cycle, 42 (25%) had LUF. The incidence of LUF was 56.5% in 69 patients who underwent a second cycle of IUI treatment, of whom 33 patients had LUF in the first cycle with recurrence rate of 78.6%. In 56 patients who underwent 3 consecutive cycles, the incidence of LUF was 58.9% and recurrence rate of 90%. No pregnancies were recorded in patients with LUF during the study period. CONCLUSION: The incidence and recurrence rate of LUF are significantly increased in subsequent cycles of IUI. In these patients, other options of infertility treatment might be justified. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: To elucidate possible differences between unexplained and minimal peritoneal endometriosis-associated infertility, we studied their outcome in natural cycle IVF (NIVF). METHODS: A prospective cohort study was carried out on unexplained (33 couples), minimal peritoneal endometriosis-associated (30 couples) and tubal factor (24 couples) infertility in 223 NIVF cycles, using human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) for ovulation induction. RESULTS: During the first NIVF attempt, follicular and luteal phase oestradiol, FSH, LH and progesterone concentrations, as well as endometrial thickness and follicular diameter were similar among the three groups. Periovulatory follicular growth monitored from day of HCG administration to oocyte aspiration was significantly lowered in unexplained infertility compared with minimal endometriosis-associated and tubal factor infertility. The fertilization rate, clinical pregnancy rate per initiated cycle, per successful oocyte retrieval and per embryo transfer, in minimal endometriosis (80.0, 10.4, 16.0 and 23.5% respectively) were similar to that in tubal factor infertility patients (68.6, 5.8, 11.4 and 16.0%) but significantly higher (P < 0.05) than that of the unexplained infertility group (62.2, 2.6, 5.4 and 8.7%). CONCLUSIONS: The significant reduction in follicular periovulatory growth, fertilization and pregnancy rates in unexplained infertility compared with minimal peritoneal endometriosis patients may be explained by sub-optimal follicular development with possibly reduced oocyte quality, intrinsic embryo quality factors or by impaired implantation. From a clinical point of view, NIVF is less suited to unexplained infertility treatment, but might represent an interesting treatment option for minimal peritoneal endometriosis-associated infertility. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The expression of integrin molecules on the endometrium suggests that certain integrins may participate in the cascade of molecular events leading to successful implantation. A prospective, controlled study was carried out to investigate the effect of clomiphene citrate (CC) on secretions of beta1, alpha3 and alphaV integrin molecules in the endometrium of patients with unexplained infertility during the implantation window. METHODS: A total of 40 endometrial samples was evaluated in both spontaneous (n = 13) and ensuing clomiphene-treated cycles (100 mg on days 5-9) and also from fertile women serving as controls (n = 14) during postovulatory 7th or 8th day of menstrual cycle. A semiquantitative grading system (H-score) was used to compare the immunohistochemical staining intensities. Endometrial thickness and serum oestradiol and progesterone concentrations were also measured on the day of sampling. RESULTS: Staining of alpha(v) but not beta1 and alpha3 integrins was significantly less intense in infertile cases than fertile control cases (1.42 +/- 0.12 versus 2.21 +/- 0.13 respectively, P = 0.012) and this was not restored to normal concentrations with treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicated that cc treatment significantly decreased the endometrial thickness and increased oestradiol and progesterone concentrations. However, secretion of alpha(v), beta1 and alpha3 integrin molecules, which might play a role in implantation, was not affected. 相似文献

Pregnancy outcome after IVF and ICSI in unexplained, endometriosis-associated and tubal factor infertility 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

BACKGROUND: This study was undertaken in order to compare pregnancy outcome after IVF and ICSI in unexplained and endometriosis-associated infertility using tubal factor infertility as controls. METHODS: This was a retrospective cohort study of early IVF/ICSI pregnancies verified by serum hCG measurement, comparing the subsequent outcome in unexplained (n = 274) and minimal endometriosis-associated (n = 212) with tubal factor (n = 540) infertility as controls. From January 1990 to December 2002, 1026 conception cycles after treatment with IVF or ICSI complied with the inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Live birth rate, twin birth rate after transfer of two embryos and abortion rate prior to 6 weeks of gestation were superior for the unexplained (78.8, 23.5 and 11.7%) compared to endometriosis-associated (66.0, 15.0 and 19.3%) and tubal factor (66.7, 18.1 and 18.0%) infertility groups (P < 0.05). Compared to the endometriosis-associated, the unexplained infertility group attained a higher pregnancy rate after the first treatment cycle (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The overall better outcome for the unexplained infertility group with respect to live birth rate, twin birth rate and early abortion rate compared to the minimal peritoneal endometriosis-associated and tubal factor infertility groups might be a guide to select diagnostic groups for single embryo transfer and be useful in patient counselling. 相似文献

The aim of this prospective randomized controlled study wasto determine the possible role of ovulation induction with intrauterineinsemination (IUI) in the treatment of unexplained infertility.A total of 100 patients were randomized to receive ovulationinduction with or without IUI. All patients were treated withlong-course gonadotrophinreleasing hormone analogue (GnRHa),starting in the luteal phase, and exogenous follicle stimulatinghormone (FSH) to induce follicular growth. Ovulation was inducedusing human chorionic gonadotrophin and timed intercourse (TI)was advised 2448 h later or IUI was effected 3648h later. Both the cycle fecundities (21.8 and 8.5%) and thecumulative ongoing pregnancy rates after three cycles (42 and20%) were significantly higher (P < 0.03) in the IUI groupthan in the TI group respectively. This is a clear indicationthat ovulation induction with IUI is an effective treatmentmethod for unexplained infertility, but ovulation inductionwith TI has a negligible impact in this large group of patients. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Increased maternal and fetal risks have been reported in pregnancies following unexplained infertility. Our aims were to examine the obstetric and perinatal outcome of singleton pregnancies in couples with unexplained infertility and explore the impact of fertility treatment. METHODS: Women with unexplained infertility were identified from the Aberdeen Fertility Clinic Database. Their unit numbers were matched against the Aberdeen Maternity and Neonatal Databank (AMND) in order to extract obstetric records of those women with subsequent pregnancy outcomes. The general obstetric population served as a control group. RESULTS: Women with unexplained infertility were older [30.8 versus 27.9 years, 95% confidence interval (CI) for difference = +2.4 to +3.4] and more likely to be primiparous (59 versus 40%, 95% CI = +1.3 to +1.9). After adjusting for age and parity they had a higher incidence of pre-eclampsia, abruptio placentae, preterm labour, emergency Caesarean section and induction of labour in comparison with the general population (P < 0.05). Perinatal outcome did not differ between women with unexplained infertility and those of the general population. The multiple pregnancy rate was 5.4% higher following fertility treatment than in women who conceived spontaneously (95% CI = +2.8 to +9.7). CONCLUSIONS: Women with unexplained infertility are at higher risk of obstetric complications which persist even after adjusting for age, parity and fertility treatment. The reasons are however unclear and merit further study. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Infertility itself and also assisted reproductive treatment increase the incidence of some obstetric complications. Women with unexplained infertility are reported to be at an increased risk of intrauterine growth restriction during pregnancy, but not for other perinatal complications. METHODS: A matched case-control study was performed on care during pregnancy and delivery, obstetric complications and infant perinatal outcomes of 107 women with unexplained infertility, with 118 clinical pregnancies after IVF or ICSI treatment. These resulted in 90 deliveries; of these, 69 were singleton, 20 twin and one triplet. Two control groups were chosen from the Finnish Medical Birth Register, one group for spontaneous pregnancies (including 445 women and 545 children), matched according to maternal age, parity, year of birth, mother's residence and number of children at birth, and the other group for all pregnancies after IVF, ICSI or frozen embryo transfer treatment (FET) during the study period (including 2377 women and 2853 children). RESULTS: Among singletons, no difference was found in the mean birthweight, and the incidence of low birthweight (<2500 g) was comparable with that of the control groups. No differences were found in gestational duration, major congenital malformations or perinatal mortality among the groups studied. Among singletons in the study group, there were more term breech presentations (10.1%) compared with both spontaneously conceiving women and all IVF women (P < 0.01). The rate of pregnancy-induced hypertension was significantly lower among singletons in the study group (P < 0.05) compared with other IVF singletons. The multiple pregnancy rate was 23.3% in the study group. The obstetric outcome of the IVF twins was similar to both control groups. CONCLUSIONS: The overall obstetric outcome among couples with unexplained infertility treated with IVF was good, with similar outcome compared with spontaneous pregnancies and IVF pregnancies generally. 相似文献

A group of 24 couples with unexplained infertility was scheduled for in-vitro fertilization and tubal embryo transfer between May 1989 and September 1990. In the same period, in-vitro fertilization and intrauterine transfer of embryos was planned in a control group of 44 women with tubal infertility. The mean age and duration of infertility were similar in both groups and the same scheme of ovarian stimulation was used. No statistically significant difference was obtained comparing oestradiol levels and numbers of mature oocytes retrieved between the group of patients with unexplained infertility and those with tubal infertility. The fertilization rate of the oocytes obtained from women with unexplained infertility (60.4%) was significantly lower (P less than 0.001) than that of the oocytes obtained from patients with tubal infertility (87.3%). There was no statistically significant difference in the cleavage rates between patients with unexplained infertility and those with tubal infertility. It is concluded that lack of fertilization is an unexplored cause of infertility in couples with unexplained infertility. 相似文献

Intrauterine insemination treatment in subfertility: an analysis of factors affecting outcome 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

A total of 811 intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles in which clomiphene citrate/human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) was used for ovarian stimulation were analysed retrospectively to identify prognostic factors regarding treatment outcome. The overall pregnancy rate was 12.6% per cycle, the multiple pregnancy rate 13.7%, and the miscarriage rate 23.5%. Logistic regression analysis revealed five predictive variables as regards pregnancy: number of the treatment cycle (P = 0.009), duration of infertility (P = 0.017), age (P = 0.028), number of follicles (P = 0.031) and infertility aetiology (P = 0.045). The odds ratios for age < 40 years, unexplained infertility aetiology (versus endometriosis) and duration of infertility < or = 6 years were 3.24, 2.79 and 2.33, respectively. A multifollicular ovarian response to clomiphene citrate/HMG resulted in better treatment success than a monofollicular response, and 97% of the pregnancies were obtained in the first four treatment cycles. The results indicate that clomiphene citrate/HMG/IUI is a useful and cost-effective treatment option in women < 40 years of age with infertility duration < or = 6 years, who do not suffer from endometriosis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation with intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a widely accepted treatment for unexplained and male subfertility. No consensus exists about the drug of first choice to be used as hyperstimulation. This randomized multicentre trial using a parallel design compares the efficacy of clomiphene citrate (CC) with that of recombinant FSH (rFSH). METHODS: Couples with primary unexplained or male subfertility were randomized to receive CC or rFSH for ovarian hyperstimulation. The treatment was continued for up to four cycles unless pregnancy occurred. Cycles with more than three follicles were cancelled. Cumulative pregnancy rates and live birth rates were primary outcomes. Cancellation during treatment and multiple birth rates are secondary outcomes. Results were analysed following the intention-to-treat principle. RESULTS: Seventy couples with male subfertility and 68 couples with unexplained subfertility were included. Seventy-one women received CC, and 67 received rFSH. Twenty-seven pregnancies were observed in the CC group (38%) and 23 in the rFSH group (34.3%) relative risk (RR) 1.11 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.71-1.73]. The live birth rate was 28.2% (20/71) and 26.9% (18/67) for CC and rFSH, respectively, RR 1.05 (95% CI 0.61-1.80). Overall, the live birth rates per cycle were 10% for CC-stimulated and 8.7% for rFSH stimulated cycles. The total multiple pregnancy rate was 6.0%. Thirty-five cycles (8.6%) were cancelled because of four or more follicles (CC, n = 17; rFSH, n = 18). CONCLUSIONS: In couples with primary unexplained or male subfertility participating in an IUI program, ovarian hyperstimulation can be achieved by CC or rFSH. No significant difference in live birth rates between CC and rFSH was observed. Being less expensive, CC seems the more cost-effective drug and therefore, can be offered as drug of first choice. 相似文献

The object of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of thenewly developed cervical clamp double nut bivalve (DNB) speculumused for Fallopian tube sperm perfusion (FSP) with 4 ml of theinseminate, in comparison with standard intrauterine insemination(IUI) using a volume of 0.5 ml of the inseminate. Couples withunexplained infertility (n = 104), undergoing 202 cycles, wereenrolled in this study. Cycles were assigned randomly to eitherIUI (group A, n = 92) or FSP + DNB speculum® (group B, n= 110). Ovarian stimulation was achieved using three differentovarian stimulation protocols in both groups. The age and folliculardevelopment of the patients were similar in both groups. Theserum hormonal measurements and the endometrial thickness wasalso similar on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG)administration. The mean (± SD) number of motile spermatozoainseminated was 44.83 ± 16.57 x 106 in group A and 42.68± 13.44 x 106 in group B. In group A (IUI), 11 clinicalpregnancies (presence of gestational sac with heart beats) occurred(11.95% per cycle). In group B (FSP + DNB speculum®) 29clinical pregnancies occurred (26.36% per cycle). These differenceswere statistically significant (P <0.001). The results ofthis study for the treatment of unexplained infertility indicatethat this simple, well tolerated, inexpensive method of usingthe DNB speculum for FSP is more successful than standard IUI. 相似文献

The objective was to evaluate the role of homologous intra-uterineinsemination compared with timed natural intercourse, both combinedwith ovulation induction, in the management of unexplained infertility.A total of 48 couples presenting at a large teaching hospitalinfertility clinic with unexplained infertility of at least3 years duration comprised the main study group, and 36 coupleswith identical entry criteria but under the care of anotherclinician made up a parallel control group. A randomized designof treatment cycles with within-group and between-group controlswas used. Couples in the main study group were treated witheither homologous intra-uterine insemination or timed naturalintercourse in gonadotrophin-releasing hormone analogue down-regulatedcycles, in which ovulation was induced with human menopausalgonadotrophin and human chorionic gonadotrophin. Alternate cycleswere monitored to enable optimum timing of natural intercourseprovided within-group controls. Couples in the control groupunderwent timed homologous intravaginal artificial insemination.Cycle fecundity and pregnancy outcome in treated and controlgroups were monitored. Cycle fecundity of 0.11 in 85 ovulation-inducedcycles was significantly higher than 0.02 in 62 within-groupand 0.01 in 103 between-group control cycles. There was no differencein conception rates between homologous intra-uterine inseminationand timed natural intercourse cycles with ovulation induction.Of the 11 established pregnancies in the ovulation induced group,nine delivered healthy babies (five singleton, three twin, onetriplet) and two were ectopic. Results confirmed the value ofactive management for couples with long-standing unexplainedinfertility but failed to demonstrate any advantage of homologousintra-uterine insemination over ovulation induction alone. 相似文献

Results obtained in two groups of patients treated with gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) are reported. Hysteroscopic GIFT was carried out in some cases where general anaesthesia was not advisable or possible, i.e. difficulties in tubal catheterization due to pelvic adhesions, extended distal tubal damage, patients' intolerance, lack of available operating theatre. Ovarian stimulation was started on 131 patients for a total of 147 cycles. Twenty-five cycles were cancelled because of failure of the ovarian response. Either laparoscopic (group 1; 73 patients) or hysteroscopic GIFT (group 2; 50 patients) was performed. In group 1 a mean of 6.8 +/- 3.4 oocytes per cycle were retrieved and a mean of 4.7 +/- 1.3 mature oocytes were transferred. The pregnancy rate was 30.1% per retrieval (22 clinical pregnancies). In group 2, a mean of 5.0 +/- 3.1 oocytes was harvested and 3.9 +/- 2.0 mature oocytes per cycle were transferred. Thirteen clinical pregnancies were achieved (26.5% per cycle) in group 2. Comparing the two groups, the number of recovered and transferred oocytes was significantly lower in hysteroscopic GIFT (P less than 0.05 and P less than 0.001 respectively). 相似文献

The use of gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) incombination with human menopausal gonadotrophin (HMG) for ovulationinduction has been advocated for the treatment, particularlyby in-vitro fertilization (IVF) of various types of infertility.The present study was designed to compare the clinical efficacyof HMG alone with a short protocol of GnRHa/HMG for treatmentof unexplained infertility. A total of 91 couples with unexplainedinfertility were randomly assigned to one of two treatments;either HMG with intra-uterine insemination (IUI) (45 patients,62 cycles) or GnRHa/HMG with IUI (46 patients, 69 cycles) treatments.Progesterone concentrations on the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin(HCG) administration were significantly higher in HMG (1.5 ±0.9 ng/ml) versus GnRHa/HMG (0.8 ± 0.6 ng/ml; P <0.05)cycles. Furthermore, GnRHa suppressed the occurrences ofpremature luteinization (GnRHa/HMG 5.8% and HMG 24.2% respectively).However, there were no significant differences in HMG dose requirements,plasma oestradiol concentrations or follicular development onthe day of HCG administration between the two groups. Nor wereany significant differences found in the pregnancy rates betweenthe two treatment protocols (GnRHa/HMG 13.0% and HMG 11.3% respectively).Our results suggest no beneficial effect of GnRHa/HMG comparedto HMG alone for the treatment of unexplained infertility, basedon pregnancy rates. 相似文献
