What are the results of treatment?

Intrauterine insemination is a successful treatment if used in appropriate couples. There is no national register of pregnancy rates following intrauterine insemination. At CRM London we record our own live birth rates and will be pleased to discuss these with you at consultation. The chance of pregnancy is reduced in women over the age of 40 years and it is probably not an appropriate treatment for male factor subfertility if less than five million motile sperm are obtained at the end of the sperm preparation technique. Over the past 3 years our live birth rate in women under 40 years old having stimulated IUI treatment is 15% per cycle of treatment

For most couples, up to three cycles of intrauterine insemination may be attempted assuming a good response is being maintained. After that time we would review treatment with you and either consider further IUI treatment or it may be appropriate to move onto other forms of fertility treatment at that stage.
