Therapeutic donor insemination: a prospective randomized trial of fresh versus frozen sperm.

OBJECTIVE: We evaluated the efficacy of fresh versus frozen sperm in therapeutic donor insemination. STUDY DESIGN: Fifty-seven women underwent 72 courses of treatment (a maximum of six therapeutic donor insemination cycles--three fresh and three frozen) totaling 198 cycles. Each woman served as her own control and was prospectively randomized to receive a single, timed insemination of either fresh or frozen sperm. RESULTS: Fecundity was 20.6% for fresh sperm cycles and 9.4% for frozen (p less than 0.03, by chi 2 analysis). Fresh cervical cap insemination fecundity was 20.3%; frozen was 7.8% (p less than 0.03, by chi 2 analysis). Fresh intrauterine insemination fecundity was 21.2%; frozen was 15.8% (p = 0.63, by chi 2 analysis). Fresh 3-month life-table pregnancy rates were 48% +/- 10%; frozen rates were 22% +/- 8% (p = 0.05 by Breslow analysis). Survival analysis with fixed covariates showed a positive association with the use of fresh sperm (p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Cycle fecundity was significantly greater with fresh sperm in women undergoing cervical cap insemination or intrauterine insemination and in women undergoing only cervical cap insemination. These results have important implications for contemporary management of patients undergoing therapeutic donor insemination with frozen sperm.

Vaginal colonization of Escherichia coli and its relation to contraceptive methods.

The prevalence rate of vaginal colonization with E. coli was studied prospectively among 495 healthy premenopausal women, and factors associated with vaginal carriage of E. coli were examined. Vaginal colonization with E. coli was found in 12% of women, and was significantly correlated with phase of the menstrual cycle (p less than 0.05), prior use of antibiotics (p less than 0.05), current genital complaints (p less than 0.05), history of previous urinary tract infection (p less than 0.001), and use of diaphragm or cervical cap for contraception (p less than 0.005). The high prevalence rate among diaphragm or cervical cap users remained significant when other confounding factors were kept constant (p less than 0.05). This observation may explain the association of diaphragm use and urinary tract infection demonstrated in previous epidemiologic studies and confirmed in the present study (p less than 0.05).
