Study aim
-
Determining the effect of late withdrawal of IUI catheter on the clinical pregnancy rate
-
Design
-
This clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, randomized, phase 1-2 will be conducted on 30 women candidates for intrauterine insemination (IUI). The method of random allocation of permutation blocks is done using Random Allocation software. Blinding is not done in this study.
-
Settings and conduct
-
The researcher will select 30 women candidates for IUI referring to Faqihi Hospital in Shiraz by the available method and will randomly divide the replacement blocks into two groups A and B. For group A (intervention), during the IUI procedure, the catheter remains in the uterus for 10 minutes and then it is removed, and for group B (control), the catheter is removed immediately after IUI. Both groups rest supine on the bed for 10 minutes after the procedure. Then, during the next 2 weeks, bHCG examination, biochemical pregnancy and 6 weeks later, clinical pregnancy ultrasound will be determined. The pregnancy rate is checked by a gynecologist.
