IUI group received 75 units of FSH from the second day of the cycle. Then vaginal ultrasound was performed from the sixth day of menstrual cycle to determine the right size of follicle. 10000 units of HCG was administered when follicle diameter reached 16mm, and the study subject was prepared for IUI 32-36 hours later. Each subject alternately swapped groups following fertility failure.
