Abstract
In the present study ninety sub-fertile couples were involved during their attending at fertility center at Al-Sadder teaching hospital in Al-Najaf/Iraq throughout a period from January 2018 to September 2018. Details of history and physical examination were done for subjects participated in this study.On the day of IUI procedure, fresh semen samples of the husbands were prepared for insemination and analyzed according to WHO guidelines. All ladies participated in this study were not more than 35 years old to reduce the impact of advanced maternal age on IUI outcome and had normal reproductive functions according to gynecological examinations and laboratory investigations. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of defective sperm parameters and seminal antioxidants on the outcome of IUI procedures. The results of the study showed that pregnancy rate percent was greater in normozoospermic patients in comparison with asthenozoospermic patients.
