Ten years' experience of artificial insemination with cryopreserved donor semen for 1023 courses in 783 women resulting in 572 pregnancies is reported. A simple approach with multiple inseminations timed on the basis of cycle length, temperature charts, mucus symptoms and signs was used. The life table pregnancy rate was 61% after 12 cycles of treatment and 75% after 24 cycles. Women had a significantly higher rate of pregnancy in second and subsequent courses of treatment, and the pregnancy rate for treatment beyond 12 cycles was significantly less successful. Women over 35 years of age were significantly less successful.
