[1995 evaluation of the CECOS Federation. Use of different methods of assisted reproductive techniques]

Intracervical insemination IC is still the most common method of ART with frozen donor semen. During the year 1995 in France IC was used in 63% of all cycles, with a pregnancy rate per cycle (PR) of 9.3%. Intrauterine insemination IU was used in 24% of all cycles with a PR of 13% (p < 0.01) and in vitro fertilization IVF in 12% of all cycles with a PR of 22% (p < 0.01). The benefit of the different methods, in relation with the number of unsuccessful cycles, and in relation with the quality of frozen semen is analysed.
