Summary
Assisted conception techniques, including ovulation induction and in vitro fertilization, achieved a 21.6% overall pregnancy rate in patients with infertility. Controlled superovulation with intrauterine insemination yielded the highest success rate.
Area of Science:
- Reproductive Medicine
- Infertility Treatment
- Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Background:
- Infertility affects a significant number of couples seeking assisted conception.
- Various assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are employed to address infertility challenges.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of different assisted conception techniques.
- To report pregnancy rates achieved at a specific fertility clinic in Saudi Arabia.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 249 treatment cycles from 1990-1992.
- Utilized ovulation induction, controlled superovulation (CSO) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) and sperm intrafallopian transfers (SIFT), in vitro fertilization (IVF) with embryo transfer (ET), and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT).
Main Results:
- An overall pregnancy rate of 21.6% was achieved across all treatment modalities.
- Controlled superovulation (CSO) with intrauterine insemination (IUI) demonstrated the highest pregnancy rate (32.35%).
- In vitro fertilization (IVF)/embryo transfer (ET) resulted in a 22.2% pregnancy rate per oocyte pickup and 30.8% per embryo transfer.
Conclusions:
- Assisted conception techniques are effective in treating long-standing infertility.
- Controlled superovulation (CSO) combined with intrauterine insemination (IUI) appears to be a highly successful method.
- The study highlights the clinical outcomes of various ARTs in a specific patient population.
