Abstract
Abstract Objective To compare the effect of bed rest after intrauterine insemination for 5, 10 and 20 mins on the pregnancy rate. Design Randomized controlled trial. Setting Integrated Fertility Center and Agial Fertility Center. Sample Three hundred and 96 couples with mild male factor, cervical factor, or unexplained infertility between the periods from 1/2012 to 12/2012. Methods Intrauterine insemination with controlled ovarian hyper-stimulation. Main outcome measures The chemical and clinical pregnancy rates. Results The couples were randomly subdivided equally into three groups: A, B, & C and they allocated for bed rest for 5, 10 and 20 min, respectively after insemination, the chemical and clinical pregnancy rates in group A (6.1% and 4.5%, respectively) were significantly lower than in group B (18.2% and 15.9%, respectively), and also they were significantly lower than in group C (23.5% and 19.7%, respectively), but there was no statistically significant difference in the pregnancy rates between groups B and C. Conclusions Bed rest for 10 and 20 min after intrauterine insemination has a positive effect on the pregnancy rate, but there is no statistically significance difference between them. We recommend bed rest for at least 10 min after intrauterine insemination.
