OBJECTIVE: To determine the rates of spontaneous pregnancies among women whose infertile male partners had sperm surface antibodies. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis. SETTING: Infertility clinic of a university referral center. PATIENT(S): One hundred fifty-seven infertile couples; the male partner had IgA and/or IgG sperm surface antibody concentrations of >10%. INTERVENTION: None. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Spontaneous pregnancy rates (PRs) over 6 years. RESULT(S): Spontaneous PRs correlated negatively with antibody concentrations. CONCLUSION(S): Although the chance of spontaneous pregnancy among women whose partners had sperm antibody concentrations of <50% was good, intracytoplasmic sperm injection should be recommended to patients with concentrations of >90%. |
