Abstract
SummarySerial ultrasound tracking was employed to study the incidence of dysfunctional ovulation patterns in 92 regularly menstruating infertile women for a total of 331 spontaneous cycles. The incidence of abnormal cycles in 42 women undergoing artificial insemination with husbands' semen (36·2 per cent of 149 cycles) was higher (P < 0·005) than in the 50 control women who were apparently normal and receiving donor insemination because of clearly infertile partners (20·3 per cent of 182 cycles). Fourteen of 42 women undergoing A.I.H. had cervical mucus disorders and the incidence of abnormal cycles was 33·9 per cent of 71 cycles which was also higher (P < 0·05) than in the control group. Our findings suggest that dysfunctional ovulation is a significant factor in the infertile women with cervical factor disorders and correction of such ovulatory defects may improve the outcome of A.I.H.
