Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Infertility Treatment
  • Assisted Reproductive Technologies

Background:

  • Gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) is a common treatment for infertility.
  • Simpler alternatives are sought to improve accessibility and reduce costs.
  • Patent fallopian tubes are crucial for natural conception and some ART procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of direct intraperitoneal insemination (DIPI) combined with superovulation.
  • To assess DIPI as a potential alternative to GIFT for infertile women.
  • To determine pregnancy and multiple pregnancy rates using this combined technique.

Main Methods:

  • Direct intraperitoneal insemination (DIPI) was performed.
  • Patients underwent superovulation protocols.

  • Pregnancy outcomes, including abortion and multiple pregnancies, were tracked.

    • Main Results:

    • A pregnancy rate of 26% (25 out of 96 couples) was achieved.
    • Six of the 25 pregnancies (24%) resulted in abortion.
    • The overall pregnancy rate per cycle was 19.6%, with 24% of pregnancies being multiple gestations.

    Conclusions:

    • The combination of DIPI and superovulation is effective for achieving pregnancy in infertile women.
    • This method presents a practical alternative to GIFT for women with patent fallopian tubes.
    • The study highlights the utility of DIPI and superovulation in managing infertility.
