    Main Results:

    • Overall pregnancy rate was 57%; excluding fewer than three cycles, it rose to 77%.
    • Mean conception time was three cycles.
    • Donor insemination did not appear emotionally harmful to marriages, with 81% of couples responding positively.
    • Observed abortion rates were comparable to the general population, with a higher male-to-female ratio in live births.

    Conclusions:
