摘要
This study was designed to investigate the surplus effect of gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) over ovarian stimulation alone, in patients with unexplained infertility. A total of 50 patients with unexplained infertility of at least 3 years duration, or unexplained failure of artificial insemination by donor (AID) for at least 12 cycles, meeting strict inclusion criteria, were randomly selected for either two GIFT cycles or two ovarian stimulation cycles. Ovarian stimulation was combined with timed intercourse, or timed cervical donor insemination. In 38 completed GIFT cycles, five clinical pregnancies (13.2% per cycle) occurred and in 44 ovarian stimulation cycles four clinical pregnancies occurred (9.1% per cycle). Five remaining GIFT cycles were converted into in-vitro fertilization leading to two pregnancies. Of the 50 patients suffering from unexplained infertility, the 23 who did not have AID gave rise to four pregnancies out of 39 cycles (10.3%); from the remaining 27 patients who underwent AID, seven pregnancies were achieved out of 48 cycles (14.6%). No statistical differences between GIFT and ovarian stimulation treatment were found. Therefore, the GIFT success rates can be explained at least in part, if not fully, by the effect of ovarian stimulation alone. Consequently, ovarian stimulation should be considered in unexplained infertility before more elaborate forms of assisted reproduction are used.
