About this trial

Hypotheses:

We hypothesize that infertility patients undergoing IUI who receive female autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) co-incubation with husband's sperm would have higher clinical pregnancy rate.

Aims:

* To determine if the use of female autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI will show higher clinical pregnancy rate (CPR). Clinical pregnancy rate as determined by a positive serum beta-hCG test result and at least one gestational sac at 6 weeks gestation * To assess the safety of female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI.

Primary outcome:

To compare the incidence of clinical pregnancy outcome in those infertility patients undergoing IUI with female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm group and non-PRP group.

Secondary outcomes:

* To evaluate the safeness between the female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI group and non-PRP group, including potential infection rate or other complications such as ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy * To evaluate the sperm quality between the intervention group and control group

Data analysis: Data analysis will be performed using Statistical Packages of Social Sciences for Windows

Expected results: The investigators expect that a 50% pregnancy rate increase after the application of female PRP co-incubation with husband's sperm in the IUI
