Clomiphene citrate and intrauterine insemination: analysis of more than 4100 cycles

Abstract

As anticipated, younger patients have a higher PR per cycle than older patients. The PR per cycle for patients who initiate only one or only two treatment cycles is notably higher than the corresponding per cycle rates for cycles 3 through 9. The drop in success per patient among 41- and 42-year-olds is sharp, but the exceptionally low success rate above age 42 suggests that CC with IUI has virtually no place in their treatment.
