Treatment of infertile couples by intrauterine artificial insemination homologous (AIH) of motile sperm collected by swim-up in human serum. 1985

F Francavilla, and P Catignani, and R Romano, and A Fabbrini

Twenty six couples with long standing infertility were treated by intrauterine AIH. Seminal and/or cervical factors were responsible for negative or poor coital test (PCT); retrograde ejaculation occurred in one case. A highly concentrated motile sperm suspension was obtained by swim-up procedure into fasting human serum and utilized for intrauterine insemination. Timing of ovulation was checked with the aid of ultrasound monitoring of follicular development. Totally, 120 cycles were treated. The pregnancy rate was 23.3%. Intrauterine AIH with motile sperm recovered by swim-up in human serum appears a valuable approach in the treatment of infertile couples with poor PCT as well as in cases of retrograde ejaculation.
