ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to explore the optimal range of the total progressive motile sperm count (TPMSC) for live birth in couples with varying infertility diagnosis undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI) in a university-affiliated teaching hospital.
