METHODS: 113 patients who meet the inclusion criteria were enrolled into the study. Of the 113 patients; 42 patients who underwent KOH/IUI and 71
patients who underwent IVF treatment. The biochemical, clinical and ongoing pregnancy rates were compared between two groups.
RESULTS: There were significant differences in terms of biochemical and clinical pregnancy rates between two groups and those were higher in IVF treatment (p1=0.033, p2=0.031).
