Background: Infertility is unexplained in about 22% -28% of infertile couples. Spontaneous pregnancy may occur in them. If did not happen, Expectant management will be via clomiphene citrate (CC) administration, intrauterine insemination (IUI), and IVF & ICSI. Aim: to assess the effectiveness of intrauterine insemination with mild controlled ovarian stimulation compared with expectant management in couples with unexplained infertility more than one year. Methods: 160 couples with unexplained infertility were selected, The couples were randomly divided into two groups: Group (A) "80 couples": Intrauterine insemination (IUI) with mild controlled ovarian stimulation (combination of CC + hMG) using prepared semen and was performed 36 hours after hCG injection, Group (B) "80 couples": Couples had no ovulation induction. They encouraged for timed intercourse in the most fertile days of female cycle guided by folliculometry for 6 months. Data were collected quantitatively, coded and analyzed using SPSS. The power of study is 80% and 95% confidence interval. Result: The pregnancy rate was calculated in both groups: In group (A) (IUI/COS): OPR (Ongoing pregnancy rates) was 27.5% and PR (pregnancy rates)/cycle was 8.6%. In group (B) (Expectant management): OPR was 25% and PR/cycle was 5.3%. Conclusion: Mild controlled ovarian stimulation CC + hMG with IUI offers no statistical significance in terms of pregnancy outcomes over expectant management in this study however significance in the response to stimulation.
