Abstract:
A retrospective study on 181 intrauterine insemination (IUI) cases using Aromatase (Al) in superovulation protocols treated in Tu Du hospital from August to December 2003. Daily doses of Anastrozole and Letrozole were 2mg and 2,5mg, respectively. All were used single or combined with FSH for superovulation. Results: Clinical pregnancy rates of cycles using Anastrozole, Letrozole, Anastrozole+FSH, and Letrozole+FSH were 18,8%, 22,8%, 26% and 29,3% respectively. Clinical pregnancy rates were not significantly different among cycles using Anastrozole and Letrozole. Stimulation duration were longer in cycles with Anastrozole than those with Letrozole.
