Prospective, randomized, crossover study to evaluate the benefit of human chorionic gonadotropin-timed versus urinary luteinizing hormone-timed intrauterine inseminations in clomip... by Zreik, Tony

“…The pregnancy rate with LH-timed IUI was 4.29% (3/70) and that with hCG-induced ovulation was 4.23% (3/71); the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion(s): Timing IUI with the use of a relatively expensive and time-consuming method such as ultrasound monitoring of folliculogenesis and hCG induction of ovulation does not appear to produce an increased pregnancy rate over urinary LH monitoring of ovulation.…”
