Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A total of 141 patients received donor insemination during a 21/2-year period. Pregnancy was achieved by 57 per cent of these patients. When patients who were inseminated for less than three cycles are excluded, the pregnancy rate is 77 per cent. The mean conception time was three treatment cycles. In 69 pregnancies, the occurrence of abortion was that of the general population, and an increased male-to-female ratio was observed in the 36 live-born infants. Questionnaires sent to all couples and returned by 81 per cent indicated that donor insemination was not emotionally harmful to their marriage. Heterologous insemination is a safe, effective therapeutic alternative to adoption for selected couples.
