Oocyte retrieval versus conversion to intrauterine insemination in patients with poor response to gonadotropin therapy FERTILITY AND STERILITY Shahine, L. K., Lathi, R. B., Baker, V. L. 2009; 92 (4): 1315-1317

Abstract

We compared cycle characteristics and outcomes for planned in vitro fertilization cycles with five or fewer developing follicles that proceeded to retrieval (n = 170) with those that converted to intrauterine insemination (IUI) (n = 50). The risk of no embryo transfer was 24% in cycles that proceeded to retrieval. Live birth rate per cycle started was similar for IUI (6%) compared with retrieval (7%).
