The latest artificial insemination success rate

Artificial insemination is a relatively common method of assisted reproduction. For some couples, they cannot conceive successfully due to certain diseases. At this time, they can seek help from a doctor and use artificial insemination to increase the success rate of conception. Generally speaking, with good treatment, its success rate is relatively high. Of course, we must also pay attention to the factors that affect the success rate of artificial insemination. Let's take a look at this aspect.

What is the success rate of artificial insemination?

The natural pregnancy rate of humans is not very high, only about 10% per month. Successful artificial insemination often requires 3 to 5 menstrual cycles, and the success rate of artificial insemination in each cycle is about 15% to 20%. If the treatment is continued for more than 3 cycles, the success rate can reach 40%.

Factors that affect success rate

Predictability of ovulation is also important. The more regular the menstrual cycle, the higher the chance of successful pregnancy. Men with good sperm counts and motility but unable to have sexual intercourse have a significantly higher chance of successful artificial insemination than men with sperm abnormalities.

The success rate is highest when the woman is between 26 and 30 years old; the pregnancy rate is highest when the time between not using contraception and artificial insemination is less than 5 years; after ovulation induction, there are more dominant follicles, and the pregnancy rate is higher than without drugs;

The success rate is lower in women with a history of endometriosis, pelvic infection, or fallopian tube disease, but is higher in women who have been pregnant before.

Of course, pregnancy is a complex physiological process after all, which requires the right time, place and people. Generally, artificial insemination is abandoned and replaced by in vitro fertilization only after 6 to 8 cycles of treatment have failed.

Generally speaking, a woman will only ovulate one egg a month. If artificial insemination is performed before or after a woman ovulates, the chance of sperm and egg combining will be greatest. Therefore, it is very important to accurately determine the date of a woman's ovulation. Usually, hospitals will monitor the development of follicles through B-ultrasound, and determine the date of female ovulation based on hormone levels. They will also perform artificial insemination once before and after female ovulation, and the success rate will be relatively improved. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, the patient is generally advised to undergo 2 or 3 consecutive cycles of artificial insemination to increase the success rate. If conception still does not occur after 3 attempts, it is recommended to consider in vitro fertilization to assist pregnancy.
