RESUMO
Between 1977 and 1987, 14 couples in whom the male partner had retrograde ejaculation were treated with artificial insemination using the husband's sperm (AIH). There were 6 pregnancies in 4 couples, giving a cumulative probability of pregnancy at 12 months of 72%. The success rate depended on a number of factors, including semen quality, methods of sperm extraction from the urine, timing of ovulation and other complicating fertility factors.

After cryopreservation of semen from men with testicular tumours or Hodgkin's disease the success rate of artificial insemination of their partners was analysed. The cumulative probability of pregnancy at 6 months was 45%. The chance of pregnancy was greater when timing of ovulation was predicted with measurements of urinary luteinising hormone. Sperm density and sperm motility were also important in predicting the likelihood of pregnancy.
