“…The value of IUI in treating couples is substantiated by these results, with a cumulative pregnancy rate of 26.9% within six attempts and plateauing at 44.7% after nine cycles. In several other studies presenting life table analyses, reported pregnancy rates ranged from 27% (Lalich et al, 1988) to as high as 52% (Brasch et al, 1994) after the sixth attempted cycle of IUI. As in most forms of infertility treatment, the success of IUI is largely influenced by the aetiology of the infertility.…”

We report on 332 infertile couples who underwent 1115 cycles of intrauterine insemination (IUI) with washed husband's semen. The indication for IUI was an abnormal post-coital test due to either a male or cervical infertility factor. The mean number of IUI cycles per patient was 3.4, the overall pregnancy rate 18.7%, and the pregnancy rate per cycle 5.6%. The cumulative pregnancy rate calculated by life table analysis showed that 16.0% of pregnancies occurred in the first three treatment cycles, while the cumulative pregnancy rate was 26.9% by the sixth cycle. The outcome of the therapy was adversely affected if the woman's age was >39 years and/or total motile sperm count per insemination was <1X1O*. No pregnancy occurred in women older than 44 years or in cases with a total motile sperm count before semen preparation of <1X1O*.

“…Van Voorhis et al [2001] suggest that when PTMS is ≥ 20 × 10 6 , the pregnancy rate significantly increases and when PTMS is ≤ 10 × 10 6 , the pregnancy rate is significantly less. Brasch et al [1994] have reported a minimal threshold of 252 F. Dong et al 3 × 10 6 for IUI, and when PTMS exceeds 20 × 10 6 the pregnancy rate can increase significantly. At present, it is generally held that when PTMS is ≥10 × 10 6 , the IUI pregnancy rate does not vary.…”

“…Huang et al (1996) reported that men contributing to successful IUI had significantly higher sperm counts. Moreover, Brasch et al (1994) reported greater success when sperm counts were Ͼ20 million/ml, although other researchers reported more conservative results, suggesting that IUI success is only adversely affected when sperm counts are Ͻ1 million/ml (Campana et al, 1996). As with most IUI procedures, women are stimulated to hyperovulate, so the applicability of these results to conception rates during coitus is unknown.…”

Until recently, the reproductive ecology of human males has not been extensively investigated, primarily as a result of the need for a theoretical framework based on the reproductive constraints and energetics of mammalian males. More specifically, male reproductive ecology has necessitated an integrative interpretation of clinical and anthropological data based on the premise that the evolution of human male life histories has involved selection for physiological mechanisms aimed at optimizing trade-offs between survivorship and reproductive effort. This paper attempts to address this gap in our understanding by presenting the current state of male reproductive ecology, including physiologic data from clinical and anthropological investigations as well as recent theoretical developments. Recent investigations outlining population variation in reproductive endocrine function are discussed within the context of potential sources of variation, including energetic expediture, caloric intake, and developmental canalization during adolescence. Additional summaries of male senescence and behavior are presented to provide a complete overview of male life history. Implications of recent anthropological data on contemporary health issues such as prostate cancer and the development of a male contraceptive are also discussed. Finally, several theories are presented that may contribute to our understanding of the evolution of male life histories and reproductive ecology, including theoretical suggestions involving the role of competition, mate choosiness, and potential constraints on male insemination ability, as well as a theory suggesting that male reproductive ecology may be best understood by analyzing energetic allocation decisions between differing somatic tissues that may be indicative of the competing needs for optimizing survivorship and reproductive effort. Directions for future research are finally considered.
