Figure 1From: Human chorionic gonadotropin administration is associated with high pregnancy rates during ovarian stimulation and timed intercourse or intrauterine inseminationClinical pregnancy rate per cycle among different patients groups according to method of insemination (timed-intercourse or IUI). A) Clinical pregnancy rate per cycle among the different patients groups, timed-intercourse cycles only. The same pattern was maintained as for all cycles combined (timed-intercourse and IUI cycles, table 3). Higher pregnancy rates were observed in group 2 (hCG + LH-surge) when compared to the other two groups: group 1, hCG-only (P < 0.05) and group 3, LH-surge-only (P < 0.01). Also, all hCG cycles (group 4) was associated with higher clinical pregnancy rate when compared to the no hCG i.e. LH-surge-only cycles P < 0.01). B) Clinical pregnancy rate per cycle among the different patients groups, IUI cycles only. The same pattern was maintained as for all cycles (timed-intercourse and IUI cycles, table 3). Higher pregnancy rates were observed in group 2 (hCG + LH-surge) when compared to the other two groups: group 1, hCG-only (not statistically significant) and group 3, LH-surge-only (P < 0.05). Also, all hCG cycles (group 4) was associated with higher clinical pregnancy rate when compared to the no hCG i.e. LH-surge-only cycles P < 0.05).Back to article page
