Abstract
From late 1970 through December 1987, 580 women began 733 treatment programs (a total of 3405 insemination cycles) with fresh semen for artificial insemination by donor. The unadjusted pregnancy rate was 48.5% and the cumulative pregnancy rate after seven cycles by life-table analysis was 59.6% with a monthly fecundability of 11.9%. From 1988 to the present, 113 women have begun 115 treatment programs (a total of 371 insemination cycles) with cryopreserved semen for artificial insemination by donor. The unadjusted pregnancy rate to date is 18.3% and the cumulative pregnancy rate after seven cycles by life-table analysis is 48.6% with a monthly fecundability of 5.9%. This report shows that using cryopreserved semen for artificial insemination by donor will take somewhat longer to produce a pregnancy but the ultimate pregnancy rate will be similar to that with fresh semen for artificial insemination by donor.Entities:
