Abstract

Artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID) has been a major form of treatment among infertile couples with defects in sperm production. In this report, we review our experience from 1980-1985. A total of 108 patients underwent AID, with 75 resultant pregnancies. Of patients achieving pregnancy, 47% became pregnant after the third cycle and 92% by the twelfth cycle. A higher success rate and/or smaller number of AID cycles were positively associated with patient age of 35 or less and negatively associated with endometriosis. This information is useful in counseling couples interested in pursuing AID.
