Abstract
Patients (619) were evaluated for infertility. Homologous insemination (AIH) was employed in 53 patients, many of whom had other contributory causes of infertility. Single pregnancies (14) in 11 women, including 4 spontaneous abortions, 1 ectopic pregnancy, 8 term deliveries and 1 pregnancy in progress occurred. Women (20) are currently under treatment. Another 16 women had unsuccessful AIH prior to beginning donor insemination. Seven subsequently conceived with donor semen. Specific indications for AIH and the recommended technique are discussed in detail as well as the occurrence and management of concomitant infertility factors in this study group. AIH has a role in the management of certain infertile couples.
