Relationship between semen regurgitation and pregnancy rates with intrauterine insemination.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the relationship between semen regurgitation and intrauterine insemination (IUI) outcomes. We hypothesized that clinical pregnancy rates and live birth rates would be reduced when regurgitation occurred.

Design

Retrospective cohort study.

Setting

A university-based reproductive endocrinology and infertility clinic.

Patient(s)

Retrospective review of 1,957 IUI cycles performed on 660 patients between July 2007 and May 2012.

Intervention(s)

None.

Main outcome measure(s)

The primary outcome was live birth. Secondary outcomes were positive serum pregnancy result and clinical pregnancy. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a cluster-weighted generalized estimating equations method to estimate
