Methods: Total number of IUI of 227, success rate of 49, Factors are used including age of the couple, duration of infertility, endometrial thickness, size of the follicles, sperm count and sperm motility. Result: The success rate in our study is 21.58%. The mean age of the participants was 33 years (range: 22 to 44 years), the number of pregnant women for age brackets below 30 years, 30 to 35 years, 36 to 40 years and above 40 years were 26, 19, 4 and zero respectively.
