Summary

The purpose of this randomized prospective clinical trial is to determine whether an infertility treatment that moves quickly to In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is more cost effective than the usual treatment strategy which includes various combinations of infertility drugs and intrauterine insemination (IUI) prior to utilizing In Vitro Fertilization.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

intrauterine insemination

An assisted reproduction technique which deposits washed sperm directly into the uterus, bypassing the cervix, and allowing the sperm to enter the fallopian tubes where fertilization normally occurs.
